tripp Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 8 years 185 million. JFC. Has a contract of this length ever worked in MLB? I don't believe so. Depends on how you define worked A Rod got signed to a long deal in New York and was a huge reason they won a WS during that contract. He was also a mega stud for the early years. Now of course he isnt worth the money but if you told the Yanks all of this before the contract was signed would they still do the deal? my guess is yes (ignoring all the off the field issues that happened during the duration of the contract) Just like if Price is bad for the final 3 years of the Red Sox contract but he helps them win a WS in the first 4 years idk that they would think thats a bad deal At least with Heyward also you are getting mainly prime years. The only issue with him is questioning whether his prime is even good enough to warrant that contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bear Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 hangover i think thats a possible NLCS but let me say this the Dodgers and Nationals as well as the Pirates will contend as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjt Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Heyward deal will look like a bargain once Upton, Cespedes, Chris Davis all sign for around $140 million apiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timely Hitting Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 If Harper or Trout were FA's right now theyd get at least $400 Mno chance probably 10 years, 325-350ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWarning Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Schwarber is the best player on the Cubs other than Arrieta, but i agree trading Castro was really a stupid move. i just hate that he is going to the YankeesSchrawber is better than Bryant?

tripp Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 no chance probably 10 years, 325-350ishStanton got 325 M and he is older and not as good as Trout/Harper Trout/Harper would get 400 M, no question in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Hitting Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Stanton got 325 M and he is older and not as good as Trout/Harper Trout/Harper would get 400 M, no question in my mind.Stanton didn't actually get 325 million though. Need to read up on his contract. It was very back loaded with team and player options that the Marlins will decline. He also signed it at same age as harper and trout are now I believe. The market values elite players at 30-32 million a year. Trout and harper would Probably get slightly more and at absurd years like 10 years.

Bryant's peak should be higher than Rizzo's, that will take a few years however.Unless he cuts down on his swing and misses I don't think he'll ever pass rizzo. Rizzo is a monster.

Timely Hitting Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Wowser, so the Astro's gave up Appel in the trade for Giles not Fisher. I think Appel blows, and is overrated because he was the 1st pick in the draft, but the Astros still pretended like he was in their future plans. Apparently not. The Phillies will receive Velasquez, Oberholtzer, Eshelman,Mark Appel, and Harold Arauz Holy fuck what a haul for the Phillies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangover Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Da fuq? Astros plan on starting Giles or something? Thats an awful lot for 60-70 innings of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Think the main thing the deal shows is that Houston has given up on Appel and obv does not value him as a #1 overall pick. Guy has done nothing but get smacked around in the minors since being drafted. Looks like a lot on paper but we'll see how many, if any of those guys turn out to be good MLB players. Meanwhile Giles is a stud reliever and Houston is close to winning now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjt Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Velasquez alone will probably be more valuable than Giles How dumb do the Mariners look for only getting Miley for Carson Smith? Smith is as good as Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangover Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 This is a robbery unless more than Giles coming back to Houston. He is good but not Velasquez and 3 more players good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
