Does Bates deserve to paid top 5 safety money in 2022 and beyond?
He gets 13 million in 2022, which is more than the two guys I mentioned above. In my opinion, he deserves a 4 year 45 to 47 million deal with 50% guaranteed.
I think that is a fair price, but I am not Bates or his agent nor do I makes decisions in the FO.
The concern I have is why did he lose focus in a contract year? That is worrisome to me, but he is young and hopefully learned a lesson from it.
It stinks, the team has tried. If he leaves, this one is on him.
