I figured it would be 5 for 90. I'll take it at 4 for 70.

So pretty much every single baseball writer in the country was wrong.
As I predicted. They have no idea what they are talking about.

So where does this put as salary wise assuming he is about 17 mil this year?

2016: 4*
2017: 3
2018: 2
2019: 1

The FG dollar per WAR was ~$7M this year so 10 wins is right at $70M in value. There may be slight inflation but that's covered by the hometown discount. Gordon can be moved to 1B his last two years after Hoz leaves. And gets us good production in LF the next 2 years of our window.

(*just checked the 2016 Steamer proj which are out now. Gordon projected at 3.9 for 2016 so it does fit in theory)

Well?

Because it's a new contract. Insurance and shit. He could have got AIDS or had his groin detach in the last 2 months. For $70M, you do a physical.

I would say it's worse news that they couldn't retain Zobrist than it is good news that Gordon re-signed.

You know it's only a matter of time before some douchebag posts this GIF, so I'll do it pre-emptively.

If they got him for 4/70, I think that's a very fair deal for both sides.

Disagree. They can't afford both. Zobrist is much older and he got overpaid by the Cubs.
