Care to share this supposed "analysis you've seen"??Not on 2023 performance it isn't.
Edit: I'll go further. The analysis I've seen suggests Papali'i provided more or less minimum contract value in 2023. Let's be generous and say $200k. That's $400k of value in deficit, which means he'll have to play like an $800k player for the next two years of his deal just to break even. He may have done that in his best season at Parra, but I certainly wouldn't be making any bets on it at the Tigers in 2024-25.
He is, in short, an absolutely perfect example of why throwing mid-to-big deals at mid-range "established first graders" in the free agency market is a diabolical way of building a roster.
