If he's trying to get 15/600ish, is it worth it? I'd be more comfortable with something in the 12/480 area as the back half of that contract could get very Pujols/Cabrera-ish. He's not a guy who has consistently mashed year to year and offers very little on the field. He shouldn't be anywhere near the neighborhood of Juan Soto's deal.

I just don't see the need for another DH/1B type player, let alone ta anywhere near this cost.

Casas isn't as good, but he's way cheaper and not a bad hitter.

Devers looks like a DH only type- maybe 1B, if he's interested.

I guess we could trade one.

Nope, not for what he'll be looking for.

Soto played OF and had numerous 5+ fWAR seasons. Vlad just isn't that guy.

I’d rather see extensions for Crochet, Anthony and Campbell…

Yup. If money was limitless, okay, but getting Vladdy would mean bye-bye to these three, as soon as they lost their control years, plus others, maybe.
