Looks like it's exactly 206.5 over 6 years.
I don't blame him. Amazing contract to snag at 32.

Dbacks were the only team to go up to 6 years, so they got him.
Chris Sale - 5/32.5 with team options in 18-19.

Oh my god we're not going to be able to afford to keep any of them are we.
Like, I'm not as giddy as I was from the RJ signing, but this reminds me of after the Schilling trade thinking "holy shit, they're really going all in right now, aren't they?" Getting the same feeling now, but there's obviously some more holes that'll need filling...!
Also, awww shit at that commitment in '19. I was hoping they could pull off a massive Goldy extension

It will be fun while it lasts.

Totally shocking and stunning for sure! It's just things like "there goes his HOF chances" and "all he cares about is the money" stuff... I know it's just peeps being in shock.

If Thor continues his progression he might legitimately make $40M AAV.
I want to tell my kids that I remember the day an athlete signed a $1 billion contract

Well, the bubble is GOING to burst, just like it is for every sport.
And, weirdly enough, baseball is the farthest ahead of the curve in terms of adjusting to the death of cable TV with the massive success of MLB.tv.
If the Harper we saw in 2015 is the Harper that we see over the next 3 seasons then holy shit. Boras is already crying tears of joy.

Think about how valuable the Mets having 3 potential aces under control is. You can pour money (well if they had any) on position players which tend to be more stable investments than pitchers.

If the Mets had legitimate ownership we'd own the NL for the next five years.
But we don't so we're targeting a UTL infielder to fix all our problems.
Probably only 10 years away at this point.

Less. Mike Trout is going to hit that if contract inflation continues to increase.

Yeah. I am so glad the Rays got Archer under team control till 2021. Such an absurd contract for the team, might be the best in baseball.

I still think the Dodgers should trade for pitching and use their FA money on Heyward instead of any of the pitchers left.
Expected but still huge.
Dodgers just got outbid by the Diamondbacks. This is like the Mariners outbidding the Yankees.
Not that surprising. dbacks have a new billion dollar tv deal.

Puig can net a pretty solid #3 in return.
Not possible. Baseball died years ago.
We'll give him 20% of the ownership.

Greinke = money over caring about winning
Another insane MLB contract. Fuck this league sucks for not having a cap.

Then again, I may be hyopcritical because sometimes I wish the Leafs didn't have a cap in the NHL. They couldn't even win then, though.

Makes me wonder what Boras is gonna want for Arenado
Dbacks will be a good team.

So how is Arizona gonna pay for Pollock?
Plus the next 10 generations of Greinke's family are set up pretty nicely now.

They aren't, or Goldy.
Ride that offense for another 2-3 years then gut it for prospects.

Dont be upset that your large market team pretends to be mid market. Baseball is a crapshoot. Did anyone expect the Royals to be in the series 2 years ago? Or the Mets last year? Signing with Toronto or LA would not have been anymore of a guarantee of "winning" than Arizona. Hell look at the Blue Jays last year. Potent offense that took off once they got an ace pitcher...why can't the Dbacks replicate that?
The only commitments for 2017+ are Tomas (yuueech), Goldy, and Greinke. Right now, they're doing a great job with solid Pre-Arb players, like Pollock now, Inciarte, Peralta, Ahmed, Corbin, Castillo, etc. So when Swanson comes up, and if Bradley and Blair can pan out, maybe they can get a few years out of the Greinke, Goldy, Pollock trinity.

Because their highest WAR SP was sitting at 1.2 rWAR.
They have an insane offense held back by a terrible pitching staff.
