Betts wasn't signed as a SS. Witt Jr was FA eligible.Unfortunately it comes down to his position and his ranking in correspondence to what they are making:
- 1. New York Mets SS Francisco Lindor: $34.1 million
- 2. Minnesota Twins SS Carlos Correa: $33.3 million
- 3. Texas Rangers SS Corey Seager: $32.5 million
- 4.Los Angeles Dodgers SS Mookie Betts: $30.4 million
- 5. Philadelphia Phillies SS Trea Turner: $27.2 million
- 6.Kansas City Royals SS Bobby Witt Jr.: $26.2 million
- 7.San Francisco Giants SS Willy Adames: $26 million
- 8. Chicago Cubs SS Dansby Swanson: $26 million
- 9. Detroit Tigers SS Javier Baez: $23.3 million
- 9. Boston Red Sox SS Trevor Story: $23.3 million
I can see him slot into the 9 Slot on this list on his own. He is definitely better then Swanson, Baez and Story. All the others are paid higher cause they are better. So a 7yr/170m deal makes him 24.3 million.
He can ask all he wants but that is his market.
Bo is definitely better than the 9 guys, but he's arguably better than anyone on that list not named Witt or Lindor.
