No. He was miserable to watch for 2/3 of the season.

Shields to the Tigers?

AppleJack · « **Reply #31627 on:** January 16, 2015, 03:19:27 PM »

but would much rather have Detroit sign Shields than Sherzer.

Getting Max out of the AL is a good thing.

Scherzer - ~ 210 million with a 50 million dollar signing bonus.

Getting $15 million per year for 14 years.

Yeah he was probably worth keeping for 4.

At least Max is in the other league now.

I'm all for paying an aging veteran more than he's worth if it means being awesome now, but my god that 14 year contract is just ridiculous.

Well, it's technically a 7 year contract. Half the money is deferred for another 7 years after the contract is over. I still can't get over the 50 million signing bonus.

Yeah, he's only on the team for 7 years, but they are paying him for 14. I guess they are just banking on $15 million being payroll dust 7 years from now, and they are probably correct.

Didn't Bobby Bonilla get a similar deal from the Mets a while back, where most of it was paid later?

8manpick · « **Reply #31644 on:** January 20, 2015, 11:10:49 AM »

Looked it up... Bonilla is getting 1.2 per year until 2035

Lol. Bubba will be at spring training.

Bubba wasting our time in the minor league camp is, well, a waste of time. Time to see if he's a major league baseball player or if we wasted 7 million dollars and a 1st round pick on a loser. He absolutely needs to be at the big league camp.

The pick right after bubba:
