Grant Brisbee of McCovey Chronicles and a guest on the Bucs Dugout Podcast takes a look at the MVP candidate and his offseason contract extension, comparing it to the extension given to Jason Kendall 11 years earlier.

Grant's got a couple beauties in this one:

He's in line for the NL MVP. Don't count him out for the Cy Young if he keeps hitting like this.

My only nitpick: when talking about Kendall and his contract, not mentioning the broken ankle is a little like reviewing the last play Mr. and Mrs. LIncoln's attended and not mentioning someone got shot.
