5/53 with a 5 m buyout on a 17 option

dice-k was 6/52

given that that was a few years ago, and since most think darvish is better, I’ll say 5/60 with a mutual 6th year option

I hope texas blows that much money on him

A 114 million dollar deal for an unproven starter, Nice. 23 million a year for a highly rated prospect is really just not smart

If Texas doesn't close this deal then maybe DOV is right :

DOV: “Texas is for Bitches”

Then Texas and the Nationals can start the bidding war for Prince Poundage.

I like the 5/60 guess

And am guessing they won’t sign Fielder.

I predict this falls through and they offer prince a butt load of years and cash and beef jerky.

which they should have done in the first place. offering a japanese bust essentially 20 mil a year is vernon wells contract stupidity.

Im sure darvish will have some success in the MLB, his stuff is good.

But there are very few pitchers that are worth more than 20 million a year, and it is just plain stupid to give that money to a guy who has not proven himself against major league hitters. Contracts that size should be reserved for the best players at the peak of their career, not guys who project well. It really speaks to texas’ inability to close the deal with major free agent pitchers (cliff lee especially)

wondering what Ortiz did with that game ball...

5 year base + club option for a 6th year

AAV of $12.5m per

Texas will also offer Fielder a contract structured somewhat like Pujols’ – low base in 2012, but high base in the out years: 7 years AAV of $24m

$0 for 0 years

…he’ll go back to Japan and be with his kids while his marriage is falling down around his ears.

Then he’ll come back as a free agent next year, signing with the Yankees

I see red people

He has to sit out two years

Willits? Check. Reagins? Check. Mathis? Check

4 years, $45m

I think Darvish is holding out for a shorter deal.

I am on a horse!

by SoCalWine on Jan 18, 2012 8:50 AM PST reply actions

I don't think he wants to pitch in Texas

I say he goes back home and comes back as a free agent in two years. That way he can go to a major market like LA or NY and not have to deal with the heat and humidity.
