i don't see contracts above 30-35M, and 35M is really rare. so, if 35-40M is the normal high-end in your league, i'd say you did fine on that at his age. i would have tried to reverse the option in the 9/10th year - that's worth an extra 500k/year.
also, as far as value, i think 220k does more for you in salary than a bonus for asg. i'd just lump that into salary and zero out that bonus on a player who will likely make it every year that he is healthy.
if you were close to the original offer (less than 5m/yr off at 40ish million, i'd guess), you could have bought the option years at the end and nixed the player opt-out. if you were very close to the initial request, you can do that instead of low-balling on money... flexibility is priceless.

NoOne, what do you suggest for a cash maximum in a modern MLB league? What type of effect(s) does one have vs. setting none?
