Bobby Witt Jr.'s deal with the Royals, as the now-working link above shows, has opt-outs after the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th years of his 11-year contract.
It also includes a three-year club option that can take the total value of the deal to 14 years and $377.7 million.
There are opt outs but by then the Royals would have gotten his top WAR years.
Terms on Witt's extension, per source: $288.7 million over 11 years guaranteed, with a three-year team option that could make it worth $377.7 million over 14 total years.
There are four player opt-outs after years 7, 8, 9 and 10. Witt also receives a $7.7 million signing bonus.
