Matt Garza To The Brewers

[$500 Million]

Loving the new toys.

Do you expect anything less?

Nope, I sure don't. But I do expect Kuroda to be their best starter again in 2014.

Nothing surprising about Yankee homers talking up their pretty new toy.

Not surprising Yankee haters are talking down their new toy.

50 million over 4 years, yea good luck with that one.

This is a Garza/Brewer thread...not a Tanaka/Yankee thread

Don't worry this shit never works out for us.

I think Tanaka will be a better pitcher. Even without Tanaka. There is Bronson Arroyo, Ervin Santana, and Ubaldo Jimenezz who can all be better signings than Garza.

I'm sorry but Tanaka is not worth 175 M. That's absolutely ridiculous to pay a pitcher that much who has proven nothing in the MLB.

God, please don't let this turn out to be Suppan II

Tanaka didn't get $175 mil. $20 mil went to his former team. ANd that is where the market was. Small market teams had to whine to get the posting system changed, well this is what happens, they still lose. And what if he pitches like a high end SP? I think he'll be a very good pitcher, so who cares what he got, they Yankees had to get him and others were willing to pay $20+ mil per year to him as well. Not my money and the Yankees have plenty of money.

6:51pm: Garza will get $12.5MM in each of the four years of the contract, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman tweets.
2:00pm: The Brewers, through a news release, have officially announced signing Garza to a four-year contract with a vesting option for 2018.

There ya go.

There really must be something with that screw in his elbow area. I cant believe the cubs could not have gotten him to extend for this money, they were talking 4/60. Maybe this deal brings back some rational thinking for a starting pitcher in this league.

Hopefully in 6 months you and I are laughing our asses off at Matt Garza being called a better signing.

R U still laughing?

I'm a big Brewers fan but not a Garza fan. I'm less than impressed. It was a bad signing. He's somewhat of a headcase. He has trouble throwing to bases, some mental thing, I watched him throw a ball to a base and he looked like a right handed girl throwing left handed. He's had some good games but I can undoubtedly have no confidence in him or Marco "Eric" Estrada.
