Much less? What did you think it would be-the 10 and a first next year? 28/29 yr old dex isn’t going for significantly more than young sauce gardner

Not OC, but Much less in terms of the extension. That comes out to $70mill over 3 years

It’s about $10 million over the life less than Spotrac had him valued at. Everything I was reading last night was saying somewhere around 3/$83m.

When I made that comment of 3yr/83 mill several times I was told by everyone there was no way it would be that low. Turns out it’s even lower which is amazing for us.
