Yep, we beat the Padres to the punch. Apparently, it is $75 million over 3 years. I'll post more info when I get it

Upon hearing the news, Manfred has gotten on a plane to South Philly with this in tow

Eh. Ok. Hopefully he's good for the younger pitchers.

He also has the chance to really produce this year as well. Over the last 4 seasons, he's 5th among all qualified MLB pitchers in fWAR, 3rd in ERA, 9th in FIP, 11th in xFIP, 20th in IP, and 27th in GB%.

Yeah. Maybe if things go really well they can compete for a wildcard. I don't think he'll be a part of the real turn around for the team, but at the same time I don't think the contract hurts them though.

Arrieta is good. You’re not getting the super ace he was with the cubs the year before and the year of the World Series, but he is still ace material. I think he will be a great mentor for the younger guys.

Perhaps I'm overreacting, but fuck, our last big signing was Jonathan fucking Papelbon. Our last big signing that I could semi-get behind was probably Cliff Lee, even if that didn't work out perfectly in terms of a WS championship. Go Phillies
