Hey, what do you all think extensions would look like for Vladdy and Bo?
They are both free agents in 2026. Their arb numbers *may* look like this...
5M/10M/18M/22M
Could/should the Jays sign both of them for similar amounts? 12-year, 340M? Is this even close to realistic? I do not even know where they would begin.
Bichette -> 30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/20/20 (FA at 35 years old)
Vladdy -> 30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/30/20/20 (FA at 34 years old)
I do not want to trade them, but say by 2024 no extensions are signed, and both continue their career trajectory...what sort of haul would they bring back, say, if they started looking at trades as early as 2024? Could you imagine trading both for 4-5 A prospects from a couple organizations? It'd be sad, but super interesting.
Another option would be to sign one, and trade the other. You still get a huge haul, and you keep one of the "vets".
