"Van Wagenen does not view Wilmer Flores as particularly versatile, saying 'hed be a predominantly first-base option or power bat off the bench.' He does think Jeff McNeil can move around the diamond a little bit, should the roster take a different form."
I know it's not my money, but just the reality that 10 year deals in all sports are a long as time and it seems harder to get value from veterans post-30 (non pitchers). A 2 or 3 war stop gap like Frazier + $30m invested in a lights out BP seems like a better play to me if there's a finite budget (which we know there is).
If he's hanging out there in December and there's a limited market and you can get down to 7 or 8 years, that would change things though since he's so young. Then at least half of the contract is under 30 seasons.
