Perez is 2.5, 2.4 in 17 and 18 on BRef, which is superior, IMO.
He was hurt all of this season and obviously provided no value (the team likely also recouped a good portion of his salary in insurance, which is standard for almost all big deals like his.
He needs to provide 6.5 wins over the course of his deal to meet market value. He’s most likely going to do that.
Re: trading him... always easy to say “trade the guy for a haul!” ... finding the team with the need and willingness to pay a price that makes it worth moving him is another thing.

I do think it’s off, so let’s double it to 3 War. For 26m? Not exactly a good deal. That’s a guy you let walk frankly.
And this belabors the main point: we didn’t HAVE to give him shit. We had him 2017-19 at $15M and we would be done now. This cannot be compared to a typical FA signing because we don’t have LEVERAGE on them.
If I can’t get this distinction across then I’m talking to myself.
