By fWAR, he produced 19.4 which would be $194 million at $10 million per fWAR.
fangraphs is valuing 1 fWAR around $8M these days. However, that is an arguable thing.
I hear ya...I would say that, if anything, the numbers we're seeing FAs get this offseason are pushing that higher toward the $10 million mark.

I agree with this statement.

I feel like the $8M evaluation has been used for the last decade and w/inflation what it’s been the last 5 years, how are these players supposed to feed their families… you know, their agents.
