It's amazing to me now that Vlad is one year from free agency more and more people are acting like he has been this amazing superstar the whole time and completely forget the three straight years of decline down to a 1.3 war player, the long stretches of terrible at bats and poor performance, and the bone headed costly mistakes.
Giving this man $450 million + might just be one of the worst mistakes made in franchise history. It's not the clear cut decision for long term success that certain people are making it out to be.
