#AAV
The club option was $8M which doesn’t sound like that much. But they can still re-sign him at a lower AAV for a longer contract
News: The #BlueJays have declined Myles Straw's 2027 club option.

FanGraphs always does a great job with this. They have Trevor Rogers deservedly at No. 3 and predict an AAV of $24 million, per the median polling of staffers.

I’d go along with Ben Clemens’ $26 million. Wouldn’t even discount six years

Weak free agents class he almost certainly gets much more than that although lower AAV

If the reported 4 year, $15 million AAV offer to Kucherov is true… I don’t blame him.

That’s $5.8 million less than the max AAV.

That offer is a slap in the face for what he brings to the team.

"... and that's why AAV slang is the ur-meme. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk."

isn’t that AAV a record?

More south than St. Petersburg, FL. Kucherov wants around $20m AAV apparently lol

He’s also not paid like a game wrecker. Simmons’ AAV is double Oliver’s.

I didn't quite see Ryan Jeffers as a fit for the Orioles considering what he'd likely get in this market, but with a qualifying offer attached I'm definitely out.

Tyler Stephenson has some red flags but makes some sense to pair with Basallo. Projected for 1 to 2 years at 7-10M AAV.

Jackson Blake is signed to an 8-year, $5.625M AAV contract btw.
October 28, 2026 at 5:53 PM
34 YO and that kind of AAV? I don’t know if that happens but it only takes one team.

Now that FA is officially open, here are my official predictions for Giants signings (Fangraphs contract # included):

Kris Bubic 2 yr/$17 AAV
Shota Imanaga 2 yr/$14 AAV
Hiromi Itoh 3 yr/$11 AAV
AJ Puk - no proj

Tried to stay around $40 mil, which is probably too high but I am full of optimism.

Conversely if a team asks a player to waive they pay a penalty of a years salary based on aav

Plays 7 positions, 2.7 WAR, 2026 $6.1MM in arbitration, 2027 and beyond expected $10MM AAV 2 or 3/year, 12 HR, .276/.301/.379 league average bat, 3 gold gloves. Solid in ATL.

I'd love to see Kucherov with the Habs, but the problem is the cap. MTL has nine roster spots to fill next year with ~$30M in space. Let's say part of the package is Guhle+Dach, or ~$9M AAV. MTL extends Kuch for $18M AAV, so now MTL has nine roster spots to fill and $21M to do it.

I can't see that. Chevy would trade him again rather than overpay. If Chevy is good at anything it's keeping AAV reasonable.

@AndThatsBB If she can make 36m in Michigan the Tigers should be offering Skubal 40m AAV

But Griffin really does look like a discount Trevor Rogers. The velo is even lower and the stuff is a little worse, but the profiles and projections are otherwise quite similar. He's 2 years older, but it's not out of the question you could get 90% of the production at 50% the AAV and fewer years.
