NFT: Strasburg Re-signs with WASH

he would do so.

That was the leaked offer from the Yanks for Cole. Looks like the Yanks will have to up the offer. 7 years for Stras is long.

Well, that was the leaked offer from the Yanks supposedly which is $35 mil per year. 8 for 300 is not only upping the length of the contract but also increasing the price per year from $35 mil to $37.5 mil. Usually when you extend a contract like that the price per year comes down so I can see 8 for $280 getting it done. 8 for $300 seems like we'd be bidding against ourselves.

Rendon

Hey, I'll take everybody because Rendon is awesome but, one, he's often injured and, two, allocating that much money isn't going to generate more wins for us. I do think Gio Urshela had a Cinderella type season so I am not sure I see him repeating that but we also have Andujar as well. It would be a poor allocation of resources.

This is all assuming you are talking about the Yanks and not Washington. Lol.

going to be making $35M for 3-4 years past his prime.

dollars a start, is insanity. Salaries are out of control.

You're right. The owners should keep that money.

Especially the owners who get subsidized by the teams who spend more. They should keep basically all of it.

Mr. Cole....

Everyone else is a meatball.....

this contract is almost certainly HEAVILY backloaded with deferred money. I'd bet that actual present value is well under $30 million/year.

But will pay through the nose for Noah

I said that exact thing when he signed and Mets fans called me a hater and jealous Yankee fan.

I'm a Yankee fan but not a Mets hater and just thought he was worth and could've gotten more.

1/3 of the total contract. I'd guess actual annual value is around $30M/year.

gets calculated differently. It is still 245/7 to get the AAV for the "cap".

Between injuries and age there is some big risks here. so you might be paying 60 million a year for 4 years.

You are what the market says you are.

" there is a sucker born every minute"

you can load up the Brink's truck to get Cole now.
Okay Hal, the ball is in your court, are you really all in?

Correct, doesn't change the AAV for luxury tax purposes.
Helps out the team a bit.

looks like a steal...

Not crazy to think he could be better than Stras over next 5 years...
