There Has Never Been a Better Time to Extend Ryan Jeffers

Maybe I missed it, but why would Jeffers sign now? He is a year away from free agency. In one year Jeffers chooses where he wants to play and who he wants to play for in his (perhaps) last years. If you were Ryan Jeffers, would you sign an extension now (even 3/$36M from 2027-2028) with the Twins? I just can't see it, but anything can happen.

If the Twins offer an additional 3 years and $36M from 2027-29 he would be a fool not to take it. That's the best-case scenario for what he would get next offseason, and it would be guaranteed now.

People like to choose where they work and live. In sports players often prioritize winning in addition to location. In many cases the money is pretty much the same. Most players who get a year away from free agency have made enough money that they can afford to wait. I guarantee that i have zero idea what Jeffers will do but I'm guessing he goes through free agency.
