I am the first one to meme this sort of thing as an absolute from a negative standpoint.

Wanted to give the folks who like Chen and Wieters and Davis and Britton some hope.

Edit, and then Eddie dashed the hope.

He has Excel Sports Management, not Boras.

Any impact on Tillman here?

Hmmm. The article referenced Boras. My bad then. Thank you.

Not your fault, I saw it on MLB trade rumors.

Porcello is 26. 4 year deal is easier at that age. When the player gets to 30 DD starts to back off on the years.

Interesting that Boras would do this deal.

As Eddie pointed out, I was wrong. The article said Boras and I believed.

He also averages a bit over 5 Ks per nine. Big money for that. Big.

We all know the market is effected by the dumbest deal signed.

And this one is pretty dumb.

Career ERA+ of 98, career FIP 4.03, career WHIP 1.359 5.5 K/9

I guess since they really have no pitching, it was necessary.

His history says he is pretty much a league average starter. Why wouldn't he take 4/82.5?

If he is worth 20 per Tillman isn't signing an extension.
