    If he doesn't accept I'm not sure I even want him. Def not a team-first guy, questionable decision making.

    Insane that the Eflin deal broke a Rays contract record that has stood since their very first year.

    Paying $80M for a 40-year-old and a guy who will make half his starts yearly is pretty rich even for the Mets.

    no idea, more just the paying someone that much at 38-40 years of age

    I get it doesn't really matter but that's a shit ton for someone who will probably get injured and be that old

    even if he is still awesome, which is the "sucks to lose him" part

    smoltzy when degrom is a met: guy is damaged goods he doesn't even pitch anymore

    smoltzy in late 2022: omg we're gonna sign degrom

    if he wants to get the bag from a directionless franchise that plays inside a traeger grill then I am very happy for him, I am too mature for this board

    I have no take on that contract because how the hell could anyone know what the hell he's going to be next year, let alone the next five? Good for him, and probably Verlander and Rodon.

    Agree, it's a huge gamble. It's not my money so whatever but teams have budgets and putting that much into a huge gamble is risky imo. If he's healthy for 5 years, it's a fair market deal. If he's hurt like he has been the last 3, it's horrific. More downside than upside but good for him.

    It's not even that. He doesn't need to make 30 starts to be worth that much. He's so good that he could be worth that much with 20 starts if the HR issues this year are a fluke.

    The problem with deals like this is it's an enormous risk, but if it doesn't work you can't use it as an excuse to stop spending. You have to keep going for it, and that kind of money is an albatross around your entire roster if he's making 10 starts. And Texas doesn't really have a history of consistently choosing to spend at the level they have the last 12 months.
