So I ask this question as the offseason comes into focus: Why would any team sign a starter to a contract longer than, say, three or four years?
15-year-old arrested in connection to horror knife attack in Germany that left 3 dead, several injured: authorities
2. Hunter Greene, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019 and was put on the IL last week with right elbow soreness.4. Chris Sale, who needed Tommy John surgery soon after signing a five-year, $145 million extension in 2019 and made 31 total starts in the first four seasons of that deal.
2. The technology exists to elevate performance via increased velocity, shape, movement and knowing which stuff works and which should be discarded. Fedde, for example, left the States a first-round bust and returned with — among other items — a cutter and increased velocity to become a high-end performer.
And I would add this: I am pro-player, so if Corbin Burnes, Max Fried and Blake Snell — the likely top three starters in free agency — go out and kill it financially, all good. I expect they all will do well. It is just not what I believe is sound within this version of the game.The best position players are proving so much more worth the large investments.
What made Yoshinobu Yamamoto so attractive in the market last offseason — beyond his special arsenal — was that he was just 25. That led to escalated bidding with the Dodgers winning at 12 years at $325 million — $1 million more than Cole for the pitching record. Yamamoto lasted 14 starts before incurring a strained rotator cuff. He last pitched June 15, and Los Angeles is hoping he could get back next month.
