needed a boost to our lineup and also OF help.  Yelich & Bryant check both of those boxes.  Not sold on Lux & Larnach.  Thanks @Renegade for the deal!

A couple of notes about extensions...

I have updated the calculator for the final rankings for the season.  There is now no need to make adjustments to the for an out of date rank.

Shannon found an issue with the extensions spreadsheet regarding the years for an extension that was lower than the previous contract.  This has been corrected, but it brings up a good point.  There is a always a possibility for error as I am human. I have found them in the past too.  As the spreadsheet has not gone through a few updates, I would imagine it is generally correct, but I appreciate your patience when an error is found.  If you have any doubts, 2x check against the rules page for extensions, it is the standard.  The calculator is provided for convenience in calculation.

As I was updating the calculator today, I found an error with Fantrax.  They had two different figures for Mookie Betts, one overall and when filtering for OF, the other when filtering for MI.  I have submitted this to Fantrax asking for a correction, but there could be other errors. Hopefully, they will be corrected when they make this correction, but beware, if a player has two positions we probably need to 2x check the points provided by Fantrax to make sure they are not providing two different point totals.
