Exactly. At the beginning of this youth movement, our salary structure was very low. I was ok with that, as it made sense strategically and my hope was that he was banking some of his profitability to pay more once we were competitive. There are a lot of costs associated with a major league franchise, but if our salaries are only increasing by the same rate as the additional revenue coming from MLB, I won't be happy.

I would bet Santana gets a fifth year from someone.
Even at 4 years, that's not a contract I'd be crazy about for KC because of the high degree of risk involved with him (Injury and regression).

If a GM gives Santana anything more than a 3 year deal, it will be regretted. But it only takes one GM, and someone will pony up 4 or 5 years.

Can we just offer him a deal in the 3 for 45 range?

Offer? Sure.
But he likely will have 4/60 on the table at worst. Unlikely he passes on that much guaranteed money.

How does the qualifying offer work? Would he have to reject it in order to hit free agency? Or is it something that just sits there and he still has the option if he doesn’t get what he wants in a long-term deal?
