With 4 FA's allowed and not a ton of holes or budget room, we use one early to lock up CF Hector Araiza. His range is at an extreme level, so we want to make sure he's with us for a while. We buy out all of his arbitration years and an additional free agent year, with two more years as team options. In total, it's an eight-year, $35M pact.

Then we turn our attention to an arm; SP Jimmy Letter is open to an extension of a similar framework. He signs a deal that buys out all of his arbitration years and team options for two free agent years; its an eight-year pact that totals $34M.
