Comeback from ... the 3rd best WAR season of his 8 year career?
Comeback Player of the Year?
The fine print in his new contract (from BP):
It now appears that 2020 is a more realistic arrival time for top-prospect Keston Hiura.
Re-signed with the Brew Crew
True enough.
But in answer to your question, Phil, in the Granderson thread, isn't a better solution to baseball's problems reducing the number of years before a player becomes a free agent? If an owner wants to sign a player for more than five years, seems to me he should be allowed to. As we've seen again and again, keeping a player under team control for six years takes the player right to the brink of his decline.

Moustakas 2.5 WAR
Harper 1.3 WAR
Machado 5.7 WAR
In all this discussion - I think it's worth noting that Machado received a 7 year - $25 mil/year offer ... and Harper received a 10 year - $30 mil/year offer.
That they are still out there isn't because they haven't been offered some serious money. It's because they believe they're worth more.
Which is their right. But it's their choice if they're sitting at home when ST opens.

The third baseman on Aaron Gleeman's Nomads (a team of unsigned free agents) at BP.
These guys can definitely hit. Last year’s Nomads projected to have an average offense, with Martinez doing most of the heavy lifting for a lineup with a total of just four above-average hitters. This year’s lineup projects to be well above average, with two of the top 35 hitters in baseball leading a total of seven above-average bats. Machado, Harper, and Mike Moustakas is a fearsome middle-of-the-order trio that totaled 99 homers in 2018 and 100 homers in 2017, and Marwin Gonzalez, Adam Jones, Evan Gattis, Carlos Gonzalez, and Derek Dietrich(a sneaky add from the non-tender pile) offer plenty of additional thump. Only the catcher spot projects to be a drain on the lineup, and relative to the position’s weak offense a Martin Maldonado/Matt Wieters combo isn’t even that bad.
