i still don't know why the 1st extension was voided, he asked for a $700K bonus for winning the MVP so i didn't have a prob giving it to him. i was fine with the contract Crawford initially wanted to sign, so i just clicked "Meet Demand". i guess no incentives are allowed, period, even if the player asked for it. but i much prefer the new deal he agreed to anyway. we get him for another 3 seasons and in that 4th season, well, hopefully there's a market for 33 year old former MVPs in free agency.
i took a big risk offering that since it seems a tad lopsided at first glance, but all i care about is if my owner would allow me to offer it. i think Crawford agreed to it cuz he averages the same amount of money per year under this extension than under the original $11million per deal he wanted. something like that. i'm pretty happy, Violators remain competitive for at least the next 3 years.
