I really like that extra level of thinking Jeremy! I agree, you have contracts like Chris Davis or Miguel Cabrera where they sign crazy amount of money and then have a huge drop off. However, looking from his perspective, these teams seem to keep making that mistake over and over, so why not try it? Obviously he’s already signed back with the Angels, but if you look at a per year salary basis, everything is going up. The amount of inflation in years to come will be higher than the interest rate he could make on his current salary, so I thought it would have been more financially smart to wait it out. But making $426MM and living in LA isn’t too bad of a fallback!
