He’s Mr Inconsistent. For that money it’s better to just go with someone else.

30 million for year 1 and 2 with an opt-out option also for both years. Meaning if he puts up outrageous numbers, then he can opt out and ask for a big contract, which I think the Cubs would sign. A little cushion for both Belli and the Cubs on this one. Well done.
