$43 million per year. good lord
It's worth the money. He looked as good as he has ever in his career last year.$43 million per year. good lord
Added to the $43M that Scherzer's being paid for the next 2 seasons.$43 million per year. good lord
They should sign Anibal Sanchez and see if they can talk Rick Porcello out of retirement and really do the 2013 Tigers reunion right.Wow. Verlander and Scherzer together again. That is a whole lot of money, but still far less than what Degrom got for likely around the same amount of innings given Degrom's injury history.
My Astros fan friend is relieved, HOU has no shortage of stud SPs. Framber is gonna get paid.Speaking as an Astros fan, FUCK.
Medical leave is part of the benefits package already.The Mets should just give Verlander and Scherzer a month vacation in July.
If Max goes 145 IP again next season, that works out to roughly $300K per inning. Nice work if you can get it.Mets have 86 million in 2023 salary to Scherzer and Verlander alone. Both nearing 40. We'll see how that works out.
This is a great idea. They play the Sox in July.The Mets should just give Verlander and Scherzer a month vacation in July.
Same here ... Astros fan friend said "best possible outcome," says they might pivot to EovaldiMy Astros fan friend is relieved, HOU has no shortage of stud SPs. Framber is gonna get paid.
Think Eovaldi goes to TEX, HOU has plenty of SPs already.Same here ... Astros fan friend said "best possible outcome," says they might pivot to Eovaldi
A's will almost certainly get there even if Murphy isn't dealt.If the Pirates trade Bryan Reynolds this off-season and then deal Carlos Santana and another veteran or two at the trade deadline, they could end up with a smaller payroll in 2023 than Verlander.
Same. It minimizes risk of injury and it also helps if your goal is to go above the luxury tax for a few years then re-set post-signing.It will be interesting to see whether Verlander or Degrom throw more innings over the course of their new contracts. I feel like Verlander has a better shot.
I really like the idea of a short term extreme AAV contract like this, even for a 39-40 year old, compared to signing any of those long term mega deals.
