He officially signed his new deal, worth a reported $177 million over seven years. by signing up you agree to our terms of service "It was a vision that was pretty easy to get behind," he said."I did my best homework. I was having phone calls with everybody I knew that had been part of this organization, was currently part of this organization. It's just something I really felt like you need to show signs of life in order to get people to be a part of something.
"I don't think people completely understand run prevention is a really, really big deal. It makes your pitchers better, it makes you better, and obviously each run becomes that much more meaningful. We say it's a race to 27 outs and whoever can get there the fastest usually wins the game."
