I just struggle to understand the "he's not worth his contract!" argument because in reality...who *IS* "worthy" of their deal? For the highest paid SS, you have guys who have won WS in Seager & Mookie (who has versatility outside of SS). Then you have Correa who RISKY, and there's Trea Turner who's fantastic but future HOF worthy?
Like...Lindor is paid a lot. But that's the game now in 2024. Contracts are rising and in order to compete for superstar talent you need to pay up. I'd personally take Lindor over all of the names I just mentioned with the exception of Mookie because again, he's more than a SS.
