The key is what does $35mil look like in 5 years. So in my mind, yes I'd lock these guys up, but maybe not for the total length. I don't think Witt is in these guys category yet, but if he progresses he likely will, as will Gunnar:
1. Corey Seager, Texas, $35,500,000
2. Carlos Correa, Minnesota, $33,333,333
3. Francisco Lindor, N.Y. Mets, $32,477,277
4. Trea Turner, Philadelphia, $27,272,727
5. Xander Bogaerts, San Diego, $25,454,545
Would you rather have Bogarts at age 31 or the potential of Witt/Gunnar at age 28. The valuation is likely similar.
