He's easily the top available CF.

Greinke to the Diamondbacks. 6 years, not sure on money.

George Liquor 12-04-2015 08:17 PM

6 years @ 206 million

I can only imagine if that's true its a 6 year contract. **** that.

Samardzija for $100 million?:eek: **** that.

Waino/Wacha/Martinez would be 1/2/3. Samardzija would be a #4 starter for $100 million? Surely Mo isn't that stupid.

$34 million a year. GEEZZZ

Wonder if someone offers one of these top dudes $50 a year for 3 years? they all seem to be getting these 3 year escape clauses anyway.

Who really knows about the money. If you look at Rosenthals twitter the number changes with every tweet. Apparently there isn't an opt out clause in the contract and it's loaded with deferrals.

Samardzija had a few good months at the beginning of '14 and has been largely garbage otherwise.

I am surprised, however, that a team was willing to give up a first rounder for only 2 years of control. If you can get a guy for 4 years, the first rounder isn't that big of a deal. But man, that's a fair amount of opportunity cost when you're just getting 2 seasons out of the pickup.

I'm surprised at the length more than anything. I figured he'd end up at something like 3/$39.

One thing to remember is that Arrieta only has 2 years left of arbitration. So this deal gives the Cubs the #7 2015 NL pitcher for 2 years and his numbers come off the books when its time to lock up Arrieta.

Price did. Who else?

Samardzija to the Giants. 5/90.

Who are the Cardinals going to replace Lynn and Lackey with???

ChiefsCountry 12-05-2015 01:45 PM

Cards dodged a bullet on Samardzija.

Mike Leake would be perfect for the Cards. Hell Cueto might not be bad either.

Cueto was a big pussy and kicked Cardinal players with his spikes. He ended a popular players career. His bridge is burnt.

We will go get a #4 starter on the FA market.
