He's not the best comparable, but JD Martinez signed a 5 year deal with a player opt out after 2 years if he hit certain milestones. You could possibly see a face-saving, 5 year deal at > $30MM/yr, say 5/$160MM, so he can get the highest position player AAV, coupled with an opt out after two years if he hits .300 in both years. Maybe 3 years for the opt-out, so he's here for the rest of Max's contract. The team avoids the perils of longer term commitments. Lerners, as is their wont, might even defer $40MM or so, or structure so he gets that if he does not opt out.
