No surprise, given [my view of] the owner/management team.
Pudge didn't have a great year, but 4 years ago, or so, he changed the face of the organization. He went to a team that everyone shunned. One poor year probably due to personal issues, followed by a pennant year, followed by a yearly record attendance, happened because he dared to go.
Reward or worth, it doesn't matter, it was a good move by that team and speaks of the value the team places on its players.
Kenny Rogers, if he re-ups, ... same thing thoughts.
