Ya if that's the real number there's no reason for him to turn it down otherwise. (We don't know that he's turned it down)

Fun Fact: If you've had a sports betting app for longer than one month and your account is still in good standing, then you are a loser. If you win too much, then they will severely limit the amount you're allowed to bet or they'll just outright ban you.

Number of times Bawfuls threatens to bring out The Graphs: 13 Over

Number of times Bawfuls brings out The Graphs: 2 Under

Number of times Bawfuls takes the bait: 49 Under, I think he's shown year over year post discipline and won't swing at obvious low balls. He will still strike out sometimes, his game has some all or nothing to it

Yeah, with his body type, with his production history should absolutely be slamming his signature on the 3rd largest contract in MLB history. He'd be under contract until he is 40. The literal best case scenerio for him here is he gets that exact same contract but somewhere else.

I don't know who Hector is and if he is a smoke salesman or not, but this seems like either a guy who is not actually negotiating in good faith (i.e. he is saying he wants to stay in Toronto but has 0 intention to) or a complete fabrication.
