I wouldn't call it a bargain. Jose Reyes' equivalent deal two years ago was 5 years 32.25m.

I wouldn't say 1 more year with 37.75m more is a bargain, unless you consider the Reyes' deal an insane bargain.

We can also compare this extension to the Tulowitzki's recent contract.

Ramirez's deal will be paying his MLB service year 4 to year 9 for 70m.

Tulowitzki's deal will be paying his MLB service year 2 to year 7 for 31m ( year 8 option 15m).

Even if Ramirez could be considered better than both Reyes and Tulowitzki, it's definitely not a bargain.
