A 3 year contract on ALR projects to be REALLY bad in year 3 especially since most contracts are backloaded.  I wouldn't just assume that's a tradeable contract by any stretch especially since the Dodgers already have Adrian Gonzalez so probably can't be fooled into taking ALR's contract.

Now that offering arbitration (hence the players desire for a large number in the final year)  isn't the basis for Draft compensation,  I wonder if we start seeing more front loaded (expensive early,  but very valuable trade chip in the out years)  or balanced contracts
