That might be the worst contract in the history of baseball

Because of the logjam it creates at 1B? I hear they will trade Freddie Freeman and some of their extra pitchers for Juan Soto to make room for Alonso.

if that ever happened that would actually be a stupid move. Freeman is a GG and clutch in the playoffs. It doesn’t matter at this point, the team is so loaded and they have spent so much they are great as is

Giving Alonso that much money for starters, then mortgaging your future like that. Just stupid.

Dodgers sign Pete Alonso to a $450 million contract. $435 million of that will be compensated in deferred payments from 2030-2045.

Where did you see that?

This article from cbs from about an hour ago says Alonso is still available.

Not sure there's any truth to that. I can't find anything saying the Dodgers signed him and Freddie is a huge fan favorite.

Fix what bullshit?

We can start with deferred contracts for one.

We can start with deferred contracts for one.

Why? Is that not something that every team can do?

If the player and his agent agree to it...what's the problem?

Additionally, they didn't defer any money for Sasaki. He's only 23 and has less than 6 years of service time, so he was considered an amateur international free agent. Because of that he was only eligible for a minor league deal with a signing bonus of international bonus pool money. The Dodgers had the least amount of international pool money available of any MLB team.

So, Sasaki chose the Dodgers despite that...perhaps because they have been scouting him for years, making several trips to Japan and he liked their reputation for being great and for how they have developed their players, especially pitchers.
