BrooksBurner Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Woah. Knew it was coming after what Wheeler and Strasburg got, but still mind boggling to see the number. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28271369/sources-yankees-gerrit-cole-agree-record-9-year-324m-deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 NHL guys are paid closer to CFL wages than MLB wages. Salaries are being actively suppressed in MLB, too, and this still happens. Spending money in a non cap league is the new inefficiency, good for the Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NBA is a capped league and their best players get even more money than the MLB's best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The problem I have with this is that we still have Stanton's contract so... But we got our ace and that's all that matters now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'll take Jay Happ back right now, and throw in Frazier and we'll eat the whole deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bieser Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Bad Karma. They drafted him, tried to trade for him (likely offered a better deal than Houston did in hindsight)....and now likely over reached. The years are my issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
