Yeah it was the worst contract in baseball as soon as they put pen to paper, and there's no way to "Devers" the contract later since he has a full NTC. He's going to be a team mascot putting up negative WAR's for the last 5-7 years of the deal as he chases 3000 hits, unfortunately. Rogers saw the last place finish in 2024 and did not see this 2025 season turning out the way it has (no one did), so they panicked. If the Jays win a ring over the life of Vlad's deal, and Vlad was a decent part of it, then we'll probably live with it. Let's hope.
