Stützle signed his extension before the 90pt season btw.
I think Byfield opts for a shorter term deal. Having a great season right now, but it clearly feels like he's one year out from his true breakout season, and with the cap set to explode in the next two/three years, he's probably leaving way too much money on the table signing long term. Unless the contract is a no doubter this summer, my guess is he opts for a 2-3 year deal. Could be leaving like, 2 or 3 mil a year on the table on the long end of that extension if he signs now.
My guess is on a short term deal 6ish, on a long term deal at least 8.5, though I think he'd be making a mistake to do it.
