The money, and, given the money, the opt-out too. If he had been signed for, say $4m, I wouldn't object to the opt-out. But we are paying a premium to let him rehabilitate his career which if he does so he's gone, and if he doesn't, we're stuck with paying a premium again for a washed up catcher.
I really hate these opt-outs.
But what if none of those things happens and Wieters is merely pretty good and stays a Nat over the next two years, which are universally considered our window to win?
