So you have to ADD the +9 we are in the hole to his 2/28.4 extension. We are in reality paying 2/37.4m to a guy coming off TJ. I can post the recent FA contracts for catchers if you’d like but you prob already know they’re very low figures, nearly all.

Yeah, those are things in the “hard to quantify” bucket. Which many forget or won’t acknowledge in the saber-heavy environment today.
He likely would have had a similar market as Yasmani Grandal had he hit FA after this season after the team ran through its original options for him, if healthy and coming off a typical recent season (good power, hoot catch and throw, good receiving and blocking, lackluster OBP and framing). Which actually would be pretty in line with the 37 million figure you’re talking about.
