Cano to Mariners. HiKu back to Yankees. Grandy signs a 4 year deal too! Feldman to the Astros. IT'S ABOUT TO GET CRAZY. I LOVE IT.
inflation... On this date in 1980, the Yankees made Dave Winfield the highest-paid athlete in all of sports with a ten-year, $16MM contract. Today, a ten-year MLB contract is now worth something in the neighborhood of $240MM (Robinson Cano and Albert Pujols) to $275MM (Alex Rodriguez). Meanwhile, this offseason, $16MM will buy you one year of Hiroki Kuroda or two years of Marlon Byrd. __
Holy Cow I had no idea he was that young... must be the fat part of the comment shining through... I had to check out baseball-reference.com (the bible) to see that other than one fair year with the Yankees he's basically sucked his whole career... WHIP of 1.548 and then 1.738 in the past two years?!? Wow.
