Wow. Teach your kids and grandkids to throw left-handed.

That's a lot of cash for a guy that you'd have to move to the bullpen for the playoffs. Laughing

Regular season stud post season dud.

So dumb.

So dumb.

What are some things that winning clubs don't do for $400, Alex.

 

[coach00036]

Meh, I'll take it. Definitely needed to invest in starting pitching. Would agree that his postseason record isn't great, but hopefully he can help us get back there.

 

[Archie Graham]

Can't wait until he is an average pitcher in three years.

So if their lucky, he'll give them 2 or 3 more great years, if their lucky, and then they'll be on the hook for an additional 4-5. Sweet move Boston.

Seems like 9/10 of these older pitchers who sign for a billion dollars flop. Not good odds.

The odds are good if you're not a fan of the junior evil empire

Caller to Chicago talk radio this morning did the math on how many thousands of dollars that is PER PITCH and it was crazy. It was like $8,000 per pitch and $50,000 per inning or something like that.

I'm a big David Price fan, but this is a dumb move. How can you justify giving a 31 year old on the decline a 7-year deal worth over $30M a year?

I was really hoping the Cubs would jump the shark and dump all of that money out for him like they did Lester. Unfortunately, they are going to make more intelligent baseball moves. Damn Theo and Jed. They are ruining everything for Cubs haters.

Nah, we get our aces for Scott Feldman

Never understood why anyone would hate the Cubs...they literally havent won a thing in anyones lifetime...its like rooting against the Jamaican bobsled team ...they are harmless

Likely 10 g's per pitch, and 150 K per inning. If someone threw 5000 bucks between the mound and the plate, he would be wise to not even pick it up and keep throwing.
