If Bogaerts doesn’t sign an extension it is because he wants to move into free agency and take up as high a percentage of a team’s payroll as possible, no matter what that does to his new team’s chances of winning.

Always interesting to think about contracts from the perspective of the value of wins, and estimates of player value in wins.

So this is really a conversation about extending Betts. All for it,
if they can find a deal that makes sense for both sides.
