Welp. That's that. I think Bates is not going to sign an extension with us. That is now two data points in the "absurdly expensive" contracts now that Minkah is making over 18M AAV.

I was really hoping that Minkah would sign closer to 15M which would be the guiding light for Bates' contract but, alas, no.

Good thing we drafted Hill :).

Mike Brown to Bates - "Hey, we'll give you $10 mill a year and a prime parking spot. How's that sound?   "
