Going to be fascinating how this is handled going forward. Thinking cynically: the odds of him staying healthy very long might not be that great anyway and the odds of him signing an extension loooong term at any point seem less than stellar ... Sooo ... Do you maybe just milk what you can while he's cheap considering how good he already is?
