Only five year contract and Altuve is much better player than Machado and Harper.

Much?

rWAR

Altuve 7 seasons, 29.8 WAR

Machado 6 seasons 28.0 WAR

Harper 6 seasons 26.1 WAR

Altuve has had more than a thousand more plate appearances than Harper and Machado.  Altuve is three years older.

I will agree that Altuve has been significantly better the last two seasons.

How tall is Altuve?

For arguments that include height I prefer to look at hOBA+  I used to use hOPS+ but found it too strongly weighted slugging.

Sounds like the basis for an 8 year 240M offer, maybe add some option years

What I think is going to happen is that the Phillies end up in a bidding war over Machado and end up going higher than that.

Then Harper is going to demand the same contract or a bit more.

Agree with all that but if we put that offer out it would force him to say no.

Sure, can't hurt to try.

That contract will cover Altuve’s age 30-34 seasons.    Manny’s will begin at age 26.    That’s a huge difference.

Plus, Manny is so much taller.

   Even through 34 if you were paying them 30 million a year it would 240 million for 8 years.  I think more likely they sign something like 8 years 200 million.  Assuming they have better seasons than they had last year.

Very possible. Though I think with a bit of competition that could easily end up over 10 Years. And 30 plus is now the number.
