10 years $140 million for Will Smith. William Contreras is 26 now. A 10 year deal would take him to his mid-30s. An AAV of $14m a year seems pretty reasonable for a catcher who should just be hitting his prime, plus that bat plays at DH. Comparatively, Smith has a career of .264/.359/.844 in 1994 PA, whereas Contreras has a.276/.353/.818 in 1196 PA.
I know Quero is coming but Contreras is here and has already produced at an all star level. I’d be quite happy with extending Contreras at this level.
I’m curious about what others think of this as a concept.
