5/92 seems sensible...I guess (but probably still too much given that year 5 is likely going to get you a 1.5-2 WAR player); 4/92 is batty.
Just so we are clear, I agree. I wouldn't want any part of that deal. But, that is a number a saw referenced yesterday in a Boston rag.

I'm guessing, given the proclivity of MLB teams to overpay for corner OF talent in this market (Jayson Heyward), that 4/$92MM for AG might not be too far off.

Me? I'd do 4/$75
