And he's 30 now? He'll be the pitching equivalent of Ryan Howard in 5 years, with a flat, 85-mph "hit me" fastball.

Theo Epstein is laughing his ass off right now..!!!
That might be one of the WORST signings in the history of baseball right there
Sure paying Jacoby Ellisbury 21 million a year to play 80 games is bad but this is criminally bad

Re: The Price is Rediculous
Apparently, the Cubs weren't far behind with their offer. It is crazy, but Washington raised the bar last year when they signed Scherzer to a 7 year 210 million dollar deal.

...also this contract.
Thru his career, Price averages 15 wins per year. That comes to a little over $2M per win.

Re: The Price is Rediculous
He's younger than Scherzer. And over the course of his career has consistently been a better pitcher. And he's a left hander. Both contracts are crazy, considering the age of the players involved. Kershaw or Bumgarner, maybe.Grizalltheway wrote:Scherzer threw two no-hitters last season.

This is the equivalent of the Kevin Brown signing.

Robinson Cano's contract is right up there. Mariners won't be relevant for the next 8 years.Chizzang wrote:Ivytalk wrote:And he's 30 now? He'll be the pitching equivalent of Ryan Howard in 5 years, with a flat, 85-mph "hit me" fastball.

Of course the D'backs just signed Greinke to a 6 year $206 million dollar deal.dbackjon wrote:Not like they would have him now - no way they could afford that contract.AZGrizFan wrote:

I sure didn't. Phoenix is an apathetic baseball town. They'll need to start putting lots more butts in the seats to pay that one off.dbackjon wrote:AshevilleApp wrote:

Re: The Price is Rediculous
Arizona and Florida are great for spring training, regular season not so much. MLB should never have expanded into those areas.
