If he opts out, I believe he gets an additional $6 million, which means he’d need to top three years and $43 million on the open market in order to get that.

I think he can top it by a bit, but the question then becomes would he prefer to stay in Kansas City for similar money to what he gets on the open market? My guess is he would based on the fact that he moved his whole family here, but you never know.

He’s having his best season in 5 years. His median game score is a VERY good 57 (Duffy’s is 58). His ERA+ is 110. We are paying him to be a number 3, and he’s been a little better than that. If he continues, I could see him opt out after next year.
