Idk why people are so anti-Ryu

Walk away dude

I’d have a beer with Lucas and mr. giolito

That's 17 million less than Jacob DeGrom was given 9 months ago, with all kinds of crazy deferments. Yes, I know it bought out a year of arb. Wheeler might not be getting ELITE dollars, but he's getting more than he's proven to be worth.

he elaborated in this article

Nightengale, if that's worthy

It is?

I understand that. But acting like Zack Wheeler is a no brainer at, idk, 150 is ridiculous. This sucks, but I'm not going to stomp my feet over it.

They offered him a 20 million dollars more than anyone thought he was going to get when the offseason started. Probably closer to 30.

You seem to be implying that there is no number that is not worth going to.

He pitched a billion innings

Yup, all over, pack it in.

Were does this logic stop though? 120 is already way more than 95% of people thought.

Ask Cubs fans about their 130 million dollar pitcher. Or their Right Fielder. Think they give those back?

You know, you could just walk away.

I really think it's a pretty safe bet Ryu has a comparable 2020 to Wheeler. Beyond that, obviously Wheeler would be the guy you want, but Ryu + someone else gets you close.

0 teams convert on 100% of their targets. There’s still a path to a competitive 2020. On to the next one.

120+ was already creeping into ‘this might not be the best idea’ throwing 15-20 mil on top of that is almost certainly a bad idea.

Wheeler gets 200 million!

It'd be fine

I'd be willing to bet they were. And they had already crept up into the range where that contract was probably going to be ugly.

Honestly, just don't make me watch a Despaigne analog ever again and I'll be over it in a second.

If he’s anywhere close to that 100 mil report absolutely not

I’m just trying to say painting them universally indersireable is dumb

I do. The reds just spent almost that much on Mike Moustakas. I’m sure they’d rather have given that to grandal
