When details broke of the Ozzie Albies extension on Thursday afternoon, there was a lot of head-scratching going on.
Not that we shouldn’t all be incredibly excited to have Ozzie sticking around until 2025, possibly 2027 if his options are picked up -- on the contrary, we should all be doing backflips and/or cartwheels, maybe both if you’re feeling agile. But locking down a player with this type of ceiling for a minimum of seven years and $35M? Mercy. The question is not, Is this deal a bargain? because it is most certainly is one of epic proportions.
