Franco is gonna play for an average of about $15.4 mil a year. Incentives could push that up quite a bit, but incentives mean plus plus production...which is a good thing.
What will $15.5 mil buy on the open market?
A heck of a lot less than Wander Franco, even if Franco isn't a triple crown candidate every year.
Eric Hosmer
Will Myers
Elvis Andrus
DJ Lemahieu
Brantley
Marcel Ozuna
Moustakas
Charlie Blackmon
Lorenzo Cain
Jean Segura
Didi Gregorius
Brandon Crawford
Evan Longoria
Those are most of the position players with AAVs of around $15-18 mil. IMO its a good bet that Franco will out produce every one of them over the next several years, and then still be in his prime at half his value.
