My thought as well. Is that a good price or high? I can't decide.

I think the price is great, not a fan of 5 years for a pitcher though.

Ya that was part of my issue. The $15M per seemed okay, but 5 years on a guy that is hurt a lot and who is former team believes he is more of a #4 SP seems long.

The Mariners should massively overpay like say $18-$25 a year or whatever is massively overpaying but for two years with a team and player option much like JD Martinez. They aren’t going to get an ace in free agency but getting 2’s and 3’s aren’t terrible because they won’t be throwing 200 plus inning with the 6 man rotation and the influx of Hancock, Kirby and Brash.

I see some M's sites pushing for a 1 year high money deal for Verlander. I have no problem with that along with adding another strong SP. Pull off a Verlander and Scherzer offseason. What the heck, we deserve it.

The MLBRumors site predicted a 5 year/$70M deal for ERod so they were close. One of their writers actually picked Detroit as his landing spot.

Id lean solid price. 5 years is kinda high but all the contenders need starting pitching. The contracts are gonna be uncomfortable to extent, and you need to deal with it if you are serious about winning

This feels like a very angels move. Health is the big key

Sources: Syndergaard, Angels reach $21M deal

Noah Syndergaard, who has pitched only two innings in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in March 2020, on Tuesday reached a one-year deal with the Angels that sources say is worth $21 million.

Not a free agent, but...

Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports that the Blue Jays and right-hander José Berrios have agreed to a seven-year, $131 million extension, pending a physical.​

Jon Heyman of MLB Network was first to report news of the agreement while Jon Morosi of MLB.com reported the length of the deal. The new agreement will cover his final year of arbitration and six free agent years, taking him through his age-34 season. Acquired from the Twins in July, Berrios posted a 3.52 ERA and 204/45 K/BB ratio over 192 innings this past season. The future of Robbie Ray is in question, but the Blue Jays can at least feel secure that Berrios is in the fold for the long-term.

That is the type of deal IMO the M’s need to look for. $25-30 for a year with Scherzer and heck (obviously I don’t care) but they can get Bauer on the vet minimum if the Dodgers fully release him. They got $100 million, $35 for pitching and $65 for position players which is Bryant and Story. Trading for a Reynolds won’t crush the $100 million Dipoto keeps referring to. But IMO they need to get all of the FA signings pre deadline.
