Analysis:

The club had offered $2.35 million, and Calhoun had asked for $3.9 million, so the player was able to do better than the midpoint in this case. Of course, both sides know this is still a great bargain for the team, as Calhoun has been worth 7.5 fWAR over the past two seasons. He should occupy the No. 2 spot in the order in 2016, right in front of Mike Trout, and should be a solid OF3 in standard leagues.
