On it face, yeah that's a ton.
But the Dodgers can afford to pay Fernandez and you guys would have the best 1-2 punch since Johnson/Schilling - a duo that took the DBacks all the way to the championship.
You really are talking Koufax/Drysdale here. In the era of short-series baseball, you'd have a very real possibility have having the best top 2 duo in baseball
history for the next 3-5 years.
Flags fly forever. I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to pull the trigger on that, but at the same time I'd have a hard time categorically stating that there's 'no way' I'd want to do it. It seems impossible to me that the Dodgers couldn't build a team around Kershaw/Fernandez that was good enough to make the post-season 5 times in the next 5 seasons and if they manage that, they will absolutely be able to ride that pair to at least one championship in short-series ball.
