Both Looney and GP2 contracts guaranteed and they are looking at trades with Cp3. Going to be an interesting offseason hopefully.

I love Looney, but to me, the issue comes down to what he costs, and what keeping him STOPS us from doing, if anything.
WRT cost, if we can slip below the tax threshold, $8M is perfectly reasonable, but if we get into the tax, we’ll be a repeater once again, and it gets painful quickly. We could save $6M by getting a vet minimum Center instead, thereby saving some multiple of $6M.
Whatever Lacob’s upper limit is, if we’re there with Looney but wouldn’t be without him, it could be the difference between being able to use the NTPMLE and not. The NTPMLE is a nice chunk of change, definitely a mid-tier FA that we can bring in if we can use it, or something we can split up to out-bid other teams that are limited to the vet minimum on 2 or 3 FAs.

The title made me think there would be some “smart logical” analysis, but it said was that he’s a good teammate and he can still rebound when he actually plays.
