Around Baseball 2015

[BTS]

for a normal person that is sick to even think about.

 

I can't even wrap my mind around making that much money.

[BTS]

It's 206M over 6 years!

It's 206M over 6 years!

 

I'm seeing 195 for 6.

[burlingtonbandit]

How much is Greinke's bat projected to be worth? I don't even think Arizona would of taken that into consideration but it probably adds some value.

 

Wonder if Price thinks he could of got more $ now.

1 million dollars and I'd be set for life.

 

you know when people ask "what would you do if you won the lottery" My response is always "you mean after I scream like a 12 year old girl at a beiber concernt, shyte myself and then pass out?"

Apparently there is deffered payments so its less in present value which could explain the 2 different numbers reported.

[Stangstag]

Jesus Christ. 34 million a year??? Highest paid player in baseball now.

[Boxcar]

Kershaw

Anderson

McCarthy

Wood

Bolsinger

Ryu

Urias

 

Injury questions with Ryu and McCarthy but any upgrade is just a luxury.

 

De Leon too (he's like 23)

[Boxcar]

It actually upsets me that Arizona might be good. This contract is absolutely retarded.

[burlingtonbandit]

Lmao Jim Bowden got played again. Wonder if he will delete his Twitter account this time.

 

[The Cats Ass]

+ that other pitcher that was pitching good. Goldschlager or something like that.

Giants signed Jeff Samardzija to a five-year deal, pending a physical.

[Laika]

REPORTEDLY THE GIANTS HAVE SIGNED FREE AGENT STARTING PITCHER JEFF SMARDZ TO A FIVE YEAR DEAL pending a physical

[nmrch]

5 years 90 million

[Laika]

Apparently it's 5/$90

 

The Fangraphs crowd projected 4/$64

MLBTR thought 5/$80

[Grant77]

Samardzija NL Cy and Giants win World Series. Then he flops in 2017, makes a miraculous comeback in the 2018 playoffs culminating in the WS MVP and is never heard from again.

[BTS]

How many pitching contracts, not including Happ and Estrada, would people have been comfortable with under a 140M payroll? For me I think it's just Hill and Lackey. Really happy with Happ and Estrada right now.

[King]

Starting pitchers are going fast after the Price signing

[Trouba95]

Cueto to the Dodgers is next IMO

[baubau]

I am curious now to where Cueto will go. I cannot see the Dodgers invest big on that arm, they already have enough pitchers with concerns. Cannot think of many teams in the market willing to spend 140+ M on him.

 

I hope martin can call AJ Burnett and woo him into signing a 1 year contract with the Jays. Move Dickey to some team like Texas after. // offseason dreaming //

[BTS]

I bet the Dodgers' addition is lower key like Maeda or Kuma.

[Laika]

I'm not convinced that they even need to add a big name pitcher. They already have an absolute Ace, some really good mid rotation guys, depth, and high upside rookies.

If Tulo would allow a Trade would you do a Tulo for Shields straight up?

 

Contrary to Boxcar beliefs I still thing Dickey and His pet Thole and Goins might be enough too, right or wrongly ! Maybe another minor piece and they take it! Remember Donalson and they are desperate to move him and reduce payroll and want a SS to boot!

 

Bro put the rum down. Not now

No thanks to the sell low on Tulo

Absolutely not. Contracts aside that trade makes the Blue Jays a worse team. You upgrade 1.5 wins in the rotation only to lose 3 Wins at SS. Lets stop these Tulo trade proposals, he's not going anywhere.

[burlingtonbandit]

Thing shields in front of this Defense and with our offense covers the loss at short stop!

 

Plus he is more then 1.5 wins better then Chavez and Hutch just by showing up!

 

lol yeah with a middle infield of Goins and Kawasaki. Thats going to be real fun to watch.
