On a related topic, in a vacuum, whose contract is more valuable: that of 30-year-old David Price, who entered the season with seven years and $217 million on his contract, or that of 33-year-old Robinson Cano, who entered the season with eight years and $192 million remaining on his contract?
Each raises the dangers of long-term contracts but should not be judged solely on his year-to-date performance.
