I agree with you that not exercising his 5th year option was the wrong move.
However, giving him a new contract after the way he played in 2022 was definitely the right move.
The issue that I have was not the contract itself, but to me it was the size of the contract. If they were to have re-signed him in the range of around 30 million a year, then I think that is fair, but 40 million was too much.
As for your last statement, I would say it is yet to be determined, but this year we will all get our answer.

Maybe the Giants should have sweetened the pot by advertising "One Free Medium Pepsi" for every fan dressed in their very best 1920s garb. So, gentlemen, get out your fedora, top 🎩 and pocket watches. Ladies, get out your parasol, 👒 , girdle and Victorian-era dress so everyone, not just the Giants, will look 100 years out of place. Maybe the spirit of Jim Thorpe will enter the Giants' huddle and the magic from a century ago will fire a light under this team in the season to come.
Yes, folks, they had Pepsi in 1925.
Peace!
