Current Deal: Andrew McCutchen - $12,500,000 (2017) Offer: Andrew McCutchen - $9.4 million (2020)
I struggled with this after McCutchen's weak first half in 2017, his being on the wrong side of the age curve and his move to spacious AT&T Park . McCutchen scored 94 runs, 28 HR, 88 RBI, 849 OPS and hit 279. I haven't seen McCutchen ranked in top 15 or even 20 of upcoming fantasy players
I looked at Matt Kemp resign at $9 million over four years as somewhat comparable and Sterling Marte's $8 million over three years. McCutchen is a better player than Kemp but Marte entering his prime although the PED issue does cloud his performance. Zach Cozart at 3 years at $8 million's numbers (80 runs, 24 HR, 63 RBI. 297 avg and 933 OPS) last years aren't too off from McCutchen and beat him in certain areas (although Cosart at a premium position).
I dont like four years deal for players at this point in their career so I went above Kemp and Cosart's number and settled at 3 years at $9.4 million.

McCutchen is a tough one because it feels like he's been around forever yet he's still only going into his age 31 season. So a three year deal only takes you until he's 33. The Kemp comp is a pretty fair one. They have similar HR totals, a few more runs from Cutch, a few more RBI from Kemp. However you do get more average and Steals from Cutch. The Steals and the fact it's only a 3 year deal might warrant a few extra thousand dollars but It's not enough for me to deny.
Approve #1

Approve #2. was thinking a little bit more too but $9.4 is close enough.

These are valid points, can I add a hundred thousand to it and re propose it at $9.5 million per year....
