Comparable contracts are quite literally how other people decide what to ask for in their own negotiations. There is no better point than a player of the same age, position, and offensive set to project someone's future deals.

The Bears are Chicago's team. No one is a better draw than them.

If it were 90% in reality, we'd all know it.

Facts aren't lousy. They are facts.

Ha, I knew this would trigger.

I am sure that is it. Or, this is easy to find information that a ton of institutions ran stories about during the Kananaugh hearings and sighted typical false reporting rates of 4 to 8%.

It's simple math dude. The reports are a Google away.

Statistically it isn't even close. Something between 10 to 20 true reports for every potential false one.

Carlos Santana got 3/60 for similar production at a similar age.

More often they are true and buried with the offenders walking away scot-free.

Last year of arbitration.

He probably takes the deal with the 35/40 per season up front and the opt out after 3 to look for the bigger dollars again in 3 years. Who knows, maybe in that time the going rate is higher.

I love the Bears Defense and all, but taking credit for knocking Peterman out of a job?

Yeah, frontweighting a deal with an opt out may well be teh best case scenario for the White Sox, especially if you get the opt out more towards the middle and not early.

Why would a player leave a guaranteed $100 to $200 million on the table right now?

The current deal isn't up until 2033 last I remember.
