Omlette toppings can be pizza toppings, but not always the other way.

Oh, and it sure is.

Semien's asking price beginning to leak out. More than $200M and 7 years. Woo, that's a big number! Thats an AAV of $28.5 a season.

If that's what it takes to land him, then count me in.

Plus I found us a possible starter that could be an option for us. He's definitely a sleeper, but I guarantee that Dipoto has at least looked at him.

I wouldn't do that deal for Semien. I'd go 5 at that AAV and that would be a probable overpay on years 4 and 5. But I don't want my team saddled with his age 38 and 39 seasons.

Reports are that the Rays and Wander Franco agreed to a 12 year, $185M deal. He is 20 years old and a legit superstar-in-the-making.

If we agree to a $200M, 7 year deal for 31 year old shortstop who has had one great and one good season so far, then we are definitely getting fleeced.

If you had to choose between paying 7 years at $200M for Semien or getting nothing at all, which one would you pick, A or B?

36 and 37 seasons. He wouldn't turn 38 until mid Sept of the 7th year.

That's a false dichotomy. Semien isn't the only - or even the best - option out there.
