January 24, 20197 yr 5 years and $60M is super interesting. obviously longer than what everyone wants, but I was thinking he'd get closer to Cutch's 3 years $50M. I'd definitely take the extra 2 years and $10M.

January 24, 20197 yr if pollock only got a 12m AAV...Manny at 28m and Harper at 30m is really looking possible. Wow.
January 24, 20197 yr I hope what Middleton meant by "stupid money" was that he was going to overpay McCutchen by double, because that was stupid.

January 24, 20197 yr Just now, Tony said: Seems like a decent deal for both sides Wonder what all these guys have against stairs or elevators?
January 24, 20197 yr FINALLY SOMETHING HAPPENS At first glance, this looks like a pretty darn good deal. On the surface, this definitely could hurt the arguments of Harper and Machado for record breaking contracts.
January 24, 20197 yr Author I think it is a head nod to the difficulty of the harpchado negotiations. Contracts have been turned on their heads the last two years as agents worked to squeeze more money out of players that performed while guaranteeing the highest possible floor on market. It's incredibly difficult to even say so and so is signed for 4 for 50, because it's like a choose your own adventure contract.
January 24, 20197 yr I can see why Pollock might have signed this deal. Same total money that most predicted for him. Gets to play in LA. Gets to compete for titles. Likely won't even be able to walk by the time the extra year he has to give them comes around.
January 24, 20197 yr Damn, I was open to a 3/$50M deal if we landed Machado. This is a fantastic move by the Dodgers and keeps space for a Kluber or Realmuto addition.

January 24, 20197 yr There was talk about a $100m ask from Pollack at the beginning of the off season. Wow.

January 24, 20197 yr Obviously great price here, but this should 100% gurantee Dodgers won't be in play for Harper so that's good as expected.

No, I'm saying pointing it out is stupid. Everyone knows who everyone is talking about, it is a pain to edit on the phone, and it quite literally changes it from what people originally typed.
January 24, 20197 yr Author There are not multiple Pollack, Pollock or Pawlucks that were signed recently, I think we are okay everyone. We all know what you are saying.
