What a Byron Buxton Contract Extension Would Look Like

[TheLeviathan]

Signing in late February certainly indicates there wasnt a rush to sign him. It's also safe to assume in a year with a more normal bidding season and less financial uncertainty could have led to more money.  

 

12M AAV seems like a Buxton floor.  I dont see any reason he would ink a deal for a penny less than that.

I won't belabor the Bradley pandemic tangent, but I agree that Buxton shouldn't expect less than $12 mil AAV now. I laid out my reasons in the other thread, but yeah, Buxton could probably approach 1/12 or Bradley's 2/24 in free agency at age 29 based on potential alone.
