Yeah, I don't think even entertaining "his" price is a thing. The market is really unlikely to be high on him as a free agent. I think you tap in with the trade market this summer to see if there's anything out there for you, with RJ as a trade chip option and see what happens. Do that while seeing if RJ will extend at a team friendly number aligned with his analytic value and just see what happens. If nothing happens, playing out the clock with him is entirely acceptable. The only thing not acceptable is buckling to fan pressure and signing him to another bad deal. We already have enough dodgy contract value on our books to deal with. Ingram, IQ, and Jake are all over priced deals for us to work around.
