If Ricketts actually win the bid, I wonder how many championships they promise vs actually putting winning team on the field?

Meh, in the end I think Cubs will be glad they didn’t give Kris the mega deal he wanted

I have to agree. His 2nd year yes. But he regressed much faster than expected.

He is a 25M talent over the next 5 years. After that no way should he be making 20+ per.

The only way mega deals work is a deal like

Fernando Tatis Jr. ss
14 years/$340M (2021-34)

  • 14 years/$340M (2021-34)
    • signed extension with San Diego 2/22/21
    • $10M signing bonus
    • 21:$1M, 22:$5M, 23:$7M, 24:$11M, 25:$20M, 26:$20M, 27:$25M, 28:$25M, 29-36:$36M annually
    • no-trade protection:
      • 2021-28: may block all trades
      • 2029-34: may block trades to 13 clubs annually
