He is very solid, but he has only one AS appearance, and he will be 29 in January.
Of course, he isn’t old, but is this his ceiling?

For any other team, the contract is chump change, but for the Pirates it’s huge. This is
the first time that the pirates have given a player a 100 million dollar contract. It’s the
richest deal in franchise history.

They haven’t really had a star player since McCutchen, and they are an extremely small
market team, which is why it is hard for them to get AS players and to keep AS players.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out…
