I am a big believer in Wheeler, but this is kind of shocking.

Basically the qualifying offer that wasn't offered to him.

Braves picked up Will Smith already as well.

Paid him handsomely too. Now is the time for them to go all in. Freeman is under contract another year or two and most of their tip guys are young and cheap.

The per year amount isn't crazy, but the long term commitment to him is bold.

And the White Sox actually offered more, but he has a Jersey connection so he wanted to be close.

seems like a good deal for the Phillies and Wheeler. 5 years is kind of the middle ground.

a six or seven-year deal would have been too much. Wheeler will be 30 years old for the 2020 season.

however the payroll is very tight in Philadelphia now...thru the 2021 season. The contracts to Segura, McCutchen, and Arrieta are/were bad ones. The Phillies won't get relief from those until 2022.

then there is the issue of signing Realmuto when he becomes a free agent after 2020

Not sure why the Rays do that. Pham is much better than Renfroe and Edwards is a low level lotto ticket. I guess Renfroe is a little younger with a few more years of control but seems odd for a team competing right now.

What's there to be bitter about? We hit him, had the lead and the manager blew it.


This contract will haunt Washington. Fact

Go troll somewhere else.

These type of deals usually don't age well.

Who thinks its a good idea to pay 36-38 year old 105M over 3 for this part of his career?

Is it extra years or more money that gets Cole to sign?

8 years 280 or 7 years 252.

He just pitched the Nats to a ring. I doubt they care how the last two years of this deal will go. Another Astros fan, eh?

They're paying for the next 7 years, not last year. He would walk and they'd still get that ring.

Better money would have been to keep Rendon. But, Strasburg seems like a good guy so good for him.
