Perez had/has talent and good stuff, but he flunked the mental side of pitching time and time again. Maybe Minnesota can help him with that? He def needed a change of scenery though.
It’s really not that insane. It’s only $25M a year which is what A-Rod got from the Rangers and MLB revenues have doubled since then. Sure it’s a lot of years, but the actual dollar value is very reasonable.
also yeah he’s pretty good
Also possible the Dodgers could feel threatened by San Diego now, at least long term. Plus with Arenado signing his extension, there won’t be many upgrades in the FA market next offseason, so it makes sense to pony up for Harper now.
Miles Mikolas gets paid too. 4 yr 68M extension.
If you would’ve told me this in 2014 when I watched this guy get shelled every start, I would’ve never believed you.
Woodward is getting a lot of praise so far for his work with the young hitters. I think the players disliked Banny a lot more than we were led to believe. Seemed like he was peak grumpy old man.
I still believe there is All-Star potential to unlock with Gallo, Maz and Rougie but it’s really a put up or shut up year for all 3. The future would sure look brighter if they had good years...
