Hard disagree with your Fairbanks take, Paul. Why would the contract change the way they’ve used him since he’s been on the team?
IMO people paying up for him will be disappointed when he comes in in the 5th inning in his first game!
I explained why on the show — cheap teams like them often keep arb guy saves low bc arbitration pays big for SVs so now that he has guaranteed money, I think there is a good chance they trust him more as a full time closer
Appreciate the reply!
