8M/yr is about what Moustakas got and he's 6 years younger.

He also wasn’t coming off a 6+ win season, which is what Gordon is on pace for. And he got $13 million guaranteed on a one-year deal IIRC ($10 million base with $3 million buyout).
I have given up on trying to predict the free agent market, not that it really applies to Gordon. He won’t be testing it.
But Nick Markakis, at 35, got a $6 million guarantee coming off a season much less valuable than Gordon’s current pace.
