Doval comes in a little below MLB Trade Rumor's $4.6 million projection for him that they posted back in October, while Wade comes in $300,000 over. Following the 1-year, $9.25 million deal with Mike Yastrzemski back in November, that’s about $18.78 million committed to these three players - they also tendered a contract to Austin Warren, signing him to a major league deal, but then designating him for assignment yesterday to make room for new backup catcher option Sam Huff. Rogers had a $5.5 million projection.
These guaranteed deals reflect reasonable prices for the types of players they are. To put it another way, that's a quartet of players with a theoretical ceiling of 4.5-5.5 wins above replacement. That’s in the range of Willy Adames's value in 2024, and he'll make $26 million this year. This bunch comes in at $24.025 million. It's all very fair, in terms of the market, even if none of these players excite and have a very high profile.
