How many days could the Braves afford?
Crazy bread w/ sauce and a pizza w/ crazy crust is always a sure sign of a good time.

He should still be a 4.5 to 5 win player up through around age 34 or 35, unless he starts to decline at a rate above the norm. Based on his current level, I think the contract would probably be good value up through around age 35 (the going rate for a win right now is around $6 million, and inflating, so anything past 5 wins is surplus value, and by the time it gets there, even 4 wins might be right about the correct value), an overpay around 36-37, and then an albatross in the last years. Probably two years too many, accepting that longterm contracts always frontload the value for the team and have the last years be an overpay.
I'm sure Illitch is pretty much directly responsible for this. He probably wanted to be sure Cabrera spent the rest of his career in Detroit no matter the expense, and there's no way Dombrowski was going to be able to talk him off that.

Does Miguel Cabrera send Robinson Cano a thank you card?

He's going to be signed to Tommy John.
The weird thing about Scherzer is he really has only had one exceptional year. He has had great peripherals for most of his career but besides being a high strike-out pitcher he still hasn't replicated the crazy run prevention from last year, at least not yet. He could definitely be a late bloomer and a sub-3.0 ERA guy for a few more years but I sort of don't get why he didn't just take the money after his Cy Young when his value was probably at its highest. It comes down to this year, as is obvious for any player entering a contract year obviously but I wouldn't be surprised if his ERA spikes a bit again.

The Angels signed a 40 year old man for 10 years. Anything can happen.
There's no public announcement yet but it will probably be less than 10 years even taking into account the two left on his 2008 contract.
He's already fat

I expect the Mariners to outbid themselves again.
31 year olds are the new market inefficiency.
Deal could reach $352m over 12 years. Got damn.
What's a few?
I have a higher tolerance than most. So, four.

what brand?
bud lite
Yuengling for now.
Only 4? Joke post?
Please. Tell me about how legendary you are, or something.
I no longer have to cross the NY state line to buy this for my dad, who loves the stuff as his go to non fancy beer. This is good because I'm three hours away from the NY state border and only went when I visited my brother who lives 20 minutes away from it. Now It's within walking distance.
When I lived in NY, I only had it a few times. Just came to MA about a month ago for the first time. Pretty big ad campaign and most stores got it really fast. Kind of impressed.
To get drunk or to get tipsy? Because if it's drunk, I would need to drink two six packs.
This is the only beer I'll buy in quantities of 24. Good stuff, and cheap.
To get drunk? :jnc
I'm drinking 16oz cans. Four is usually the point where if I'm going to get drunk, I go from there.
Word got out it was coming last fall. The stores around here had signs advertising it days after the announcement.
Oh, didn't know it was 16oz cans. I dub thee an honorary Dominican.

Unless I'm getting an insane quantity for a gathering, I never understood the 12oz can.
I don't drink beer like that (mostly stick to hard liquor), but I'm with you on that.

Cabrera should get all he money he can grab. If the Tigers want to hand it to him he should be polite and accept it. Hilarious that there needs to be two vesting options at 60M at the end of it.
Fruity Pebbles.

Vesting options for the age 41 and 42 seasons are just completely idiotic. I mean, I doubt they could actually kick in unless he's somehow still a star player at 40, but I still don't even get the idea at all.
My favorite!
Maybe mega steroids are invented and he turns into a fatter DHier Barry Bonds. There's nothing wrong with offering it though, as you say it probably won't come to pass and if it somehow does then it might even be worth it.
Vesting options feel like a fool/trick overconfident dumb people. I mean, sure, when you're 31, why wouldn't you? Vest this, bitch, is what I'd say to any team that wanted to sign ME.
