Half a billion for one player. And not close to being the highest paid. I can remember in '79, when Nolan Ryan signed the first $1,000,000 per contract and experts said it was the end of the game. Teams could not afford to pay that silly amount and stay in business. LOOGY's make that now."Pending a physical "?
Isn’t he already on the team?
Since I get off work at 130, this works for me. Hopefully I can find the games without them being blacked out.
The last half of that contract is going to look just like the Pujols deal with the Angels and the Miguel Cabrera contract with the Tigers. 14 years is ridiculous. No deferred money is ridiculous, as well. Vlad is punishing the Jays for manipulating his service time when he first came up.
Red Sox 5-0 since this post.
