Kershaw and 300 mill

[Tapate50]

Looks like Kershaw was on the verge of getting very rich before they tabled talks til after the season per Olney. That's a lot of hooch !

Dodgers are insane.

 

[Heyward]

LOL, nearly 1 million per start.

10 years, 300 million would only have him signed until 34-35.

Could still get another deal after that.

What are the Dodgers to do, someone will sign him for that money if he hits the open market. Kershaw could sign that deal never throw a pitch and the Dodgers would still nearly double the Braves payroll. They will be fine.

I so love the 'economics' of MLB! Must have a touch of insanity to cheer for the most screwed up sport in all professional sports...

They will enforce a hard salary cap in baseball before too long. Book it.

They will enforce a hard salary cap in baseball before too long. Book it.

Strongest union in the world would never allow it!

 

[Perfect Cell]

Insane? they have the cash why not spend it on the best pitcher in baseball?

 

[weso1]

Now on this one I think AA has a point. 300 million is way too much for any pitcher.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

300 million for a guy who got rocked in an elimination game. Pass.

 

[VOLracious]

Considering his performance in Game 6 and how they are using him, might want to reconsider that much hooch. How many innings on that arm? Torn rotator cuff waiting to happen?
