Focus on locking up Vinnie, who for some reason will be much cheaper.
If I was Witt Id capitalize on this funny idea that for some reason ppl think hes an elite baseball player and accept whatever big deal I can get.

Focus should be on locking up both.
It’s only 25 games, but his defensive numbers are improved this year, and he’s pacing for a 25 HR/30 SB season.
His offensive numbers have paced up just slightly, but the version of him right now is similar to prime Ian Desmond, who was a valuable guy for the first half of his career.
I see a guy who, for the most part, is taking better at-bats and being more selective at the dish. I think there still is upside with the bat.
There still is potential for him to do more. There’s good reason for an extension for both sides.
