I'm kinda surprised he signed before Soto? Then again, I guess that's an "overpay"/"really good money" for a really good, but not great player.

I can't believe they paid that much for him. Glad he isn't going back to the Yankees

At least the last six years of that contract will be awful.

Technically the per year is due to the deferrals.

This deal contains no deferrals - just an absolutely incomprehensible number. The only deal in sports history I can remember this mind-blowing was when A-Rod got his $252 million and it was nearly double every sports contract ever.

Imagine offering a player $760 over 16 yrs, or $700m over 15 yrs which is what the Yankees and Red Sox's respective offers were and losing. Winter Meetings should be fun starting tomorrow; I figure the Yankees and Red Sox are about to go ape shit, with Teoscar being the beneficiary.
