Any competent agent could have gotten him at least a few million more or one less year of team control without any additional delay. It would would have been a great, team friendly deal. I get not maximizing the return on the deal, because Albies just wanted to get it done, but there is no way the Braves would have balked at this same deal with another 5 million for Albies, or the same money and six years of control. Either option still would have been a good deal for the Braves.---------------------------------------------

couldn't he have gotten a multi-million dollar insurance policy instead of signing this deal.
as noted, guaranteeing yourself millions makes perfect sense. but I can't believe this was the only/best way to do it.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

apparently Albies' agent also has .... wait for it..... Craig Kimbrel as a client, and reportedly this agent was still asking for 5 years, $100M as of late March.
I would say that the odds that the agent needed a commission from Albies' contract to keep out of bankruptcy is north of zero.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
