The point is no one knows, but everyone "knows" what the answer is.
I was thinking that's just how they work. Teams always pick up the 5th year before signing an extension on 1st rd players. Seems like the standard if it's not the rule that contract extension are added on to existing years.
I think we are all in the sign him camp as I'm sure a deal will get done at some point and time. But when you see the #s explained and with the fact that your keeping one of your best players happy I say do it now.
