Not really. Anything arod can give is better than what they have at third this year. It's gonna be a black hole as of now. It's good for the 189 plan, but I hate that plan, arod is better than what they have and anything on the free agent market

Good point, when he is healthy he still is a solid ballplayer. Still, you remove him from the clubhouse (I assume he isn't allowed to travel with the team at all) and the team chemistry should improve. Being able to make a solid push for Tanaka is a definite perk too. Maybe grab a reliable player like Michael Young and put him at third.
I think the Yanks will be a better team without him in the picture this year, but only time will tell.

With an opt out after 5, guaranteed to hit free agency again at 32. This fucking guy is going to have sooooooooo much money. These are the kind of deals I love. $30 mil for what should be Kershaw's 5 best years. Not like the other big deals where you are hoping for a few good years and know you are going to eat a lot of money for a decline. Dude should be the best pitcher in baseball for the next 5 years.

Yep, as insane as that amount of money is, this deal make sense. Not the deals like Pujols and Cano where you're hoping for the player to be good for half of the deal.
Nuts deal for Kershaw, but it probably work for both sides. The crazy thing is that the dodgers aren't done spending either. That TV deal has given them unbelievably deep pockets

I'm tellin ya....people are overrating these deals.
Sure, they can spend money now, but I have a feeling those wells are gonna dry up pretty quick and they're gonna start making promises they can't keep and end up back in bankruptcy court.

except the new owners are also in command of the $20 billion hedge fund...so i don't think there's much to worry about in terms of cash flow

And the 76ers are owned by the Apollo Global Management - that doesn't mean all resources are put into the basketball team. Just as investors are in something to make money; having a hedge fund is irrelevant based on the operations of a baseball team, nor the revenue brought in by the cable deal.
$30 million a year for a pitcher is absurd. the risk-reward is way too high on the risk side. every pitcher gets hurt eventually. it's bad business no matter how much money your franchise might have in my opinion.

No injury history, best pitcher in baseball BY FAR and all you are on the hook for is his EXACT prime. Nothing more.

approximately $1 million dollars per start and $10,000 per PITCH if he makes every start for those 1st 5 years. that's a big investment for a guy who is only plays once out of every 5th day. can you commit almost 10% of your salaries to a guy who only plays once every 5th day no matter how good he is? I know he is an absolute stud but I think it's way too big of an investment.
I couldnt handle it if I made 10 grand per pitch. I'd be out there doing the math..like, "hmm, that ball on the outside corner I just tossed was equal to 9,999 McDonalds double cheeseburgers, 8 shiney new Gibson SGs, 285 Lightning bOlt Vinyls, 133 Pearl Jam tickets, 1250 Rum n cokes, or I just paid for my internet for the next 16 years! yikes. >:)

When the phillies signed their deal I read the team will get 100 million annually. In the same article it mentioned the dodgers getting $280 million annually from their insane contract. Unless the overextend themselves by an ridiculous amount they aren't going to be feeling much financial strain, especially if they are bringing in revenue from winning as well.

I know this, but to act as if that money is signed, sealed, and delivered is naive.

5 years for the best pitcher in baseball at $30 mil is more than reasonable in the grand scheme of things
Fox also, is not going anywhere who is on the hook for a lot of these deals

are they throwing red flags? how do they challenge? i missed that detail...
And I think innings 7 and on are like the last 2 minutes in a half of football.
