Time flies when you are having fun, and contracts go berserk when you aren’t paying attention. The New York Yankees will pay Tanaka 155 million dollars over the next seven seasons, and it will cost them a combined 175 million after the posting fee. That is a combined 25 million

The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Sunday that they have agreed to a contract with Matt Garza. The base deal is for four years and 52 million dollars, but early reports are that there is an option year that will kick in if he meets certain performance incentives. The signing marks

Anyone that has been paying attention to the two series on ADP (including Brett Talley’s series) already noticed the discrepancies between the two. His are based on what we would call projections.

The news I’m about to tell you probably isn’t news to you.  Clayton Kershaw signed an extension of 7 years at $215 million last night with the Los Angeles Dodgers.  There is a player opt out clause after the fifth year, but the deal will still pay Kershaw $30 million
