Phillies come to the Globe May 16-18

Not to mention, the Rangers efforts towards Otani may also provide some luck in their favor.

$28m/year would give him the 4th highest starting pitcher average salary in baseball. I think (read: hope) that that figure resides in a sweet spot where he knows he's leaving some money on the table, but he's also being paid comparable to the elites in the game (in some cases, a lot more), and he's also in a place where he is revered and comfortable.

When were those deals signed though? He has the good fortune of being a FA at just the right time to cash in for his life's work. He's gonna be leading the FA class, and I wouldn't begrudge him that if that's the route he wants to take. I've enjoyed watching him and will wish him well regardless.

In a perfect world they would keep Darvish for cheaper and sign Otani...I wish it was that perfect world.

I stand corrected!

You should pay closer attention. I do say positive things about this team.

Hopefully people will learn soon that 6 & 7 year deals for pitchers (and Choo) is a horrible idea 5 years is really tops that a pitcher should expect to get

Exactly why I stopped at 5.

I think we are gonna see more and more opt out clauses so they will likely never hit those last couple of years unless they are hurt.

Eh Crawler posts A LOT more, we won't see jaar again til we lose 3 in a row or something, I'd say Crawler's volume of negativity is far greater

jaar is just more negative in much smaller doses

Darvish has it under control. 8/400, and 10% of the team!

I'm ok with that

Options based on achieved incentives would be even better

So 5 years guaranteed with a team option with maybe. $15 mil buyout?
