this is incorrect in more ways than one. First of all, you’re describing the old 5th year option protocol. This off-season we have to decide on JA and Edmunds, fully guaranteeing their 4th year rookie deal and 5th year options at the transition tag rate for both positions. For Edmunds that is 13.4 million. He is not worth half of that in my opinion. I know they will keep him, but considering his age, I’d like them to decline the option and offer a 2-3 year extension at far less than 13.4 mil a year. Actually I would like them to trade him but that’s not going to happen.
