Baseball thread

Apparently turned down $760m over 16 years from the Yankees.

Tight bastards...

 

[Del Woppio]

There's got to be inflation clauses in a contract that long too

Gets a $75m signing on bonus as well.

Wonder what will happen to wages if the Saudi's decide Baseball is the sport for them

The money is obviously disgusting but from a sporting perspective it’s the 15 year length that is properly baffling. That is an eternity, even in baseball.

 

[Tony Towner]

It's not too unusual I don't think for a player in their 20s, Bryce Harper signed for 13 years aged 28 for the Phillies and Soto is 2 years younger.

Been keeping up with the Brewers @ Yankees game this evening and find it brilliant that fans being overly negative is a thing in this sport as well.

Yankees won 20-9. Hit 9 home runs (a record for them), Judge with 3 of them and the game included the first 3 pitches going into the stands (all hit against an ex Yankee)....majority of the comments are on the 9 runs against...the deeeefence is shit, too many fielding errors, this will ruin our season (only 160 games to go...)

Enjoy the record breaking win you miserable goons
