That's all the new money in there if the option is picked up. We're going to hold onto him because he'll be motivated by the prospect of a 2 year/$15 million contract and that makes him worth keeping?

Yoan should be motivated in 2024, because his 2025 option is exceptionally unlikely to get picked up up, and therefore will be playing for his next contract with a different team. If Yoan turns in another pitiful season next year, he’s looking at a 1 year deal for a couple million tops. Hence motivation shouldn’t be an issue if he actually wants to continue to play Major league baseball.

Yeah it's essentially a one year, $30mill deal and then he signs for not a couple mill tops for the following year or he plays himself into that option being picked up and its close to a 2 year//$50 mill deal over next 2 years.
August 25, 20232 yr What I hope: he plays well and they move him at the deadline and don't have to eat a lot of his salary. What I expect: he's a DFA candidate in May/June Edited August 25, 20232 yr by Bob Sacamano
