Beyond the Boxscore's excellent new article (and apologies to those of you who will already have read it) is about the value or otherwise of signing contract extensions that delay free agency. 15 of them were signed over the off season, and the contract rated #1 in "bang for your buck factor" (defined as "surplus value of extension minus surplus value of the contract the day before the extension was signed divided by total guaranteed dollars. The more surplus value an organization is able to extract per invested dollar, the better") is the signing of Chris Ianetta.
