March 8, 20215 yr Signing in late February certainly indicates there wasnt a rush to sign him. It's also safe to assume in a year with a more normal bidding season and less financial uncertainty could have led to more money. 12M AAV seems like a Buxton floor. I dont see any reason he would ink a deal for a penny less than that.

I laid out my reasons in the other thread, but yeah, Buxton could probably approach 1/12 or Bradley's 2/24 in free agency at age 29 based on potential alone.
