Offseason Rumors and Deals Around MLB

Heyman says 6 yrs.

Then I'm guessing $210M (35/yr)

Rumors were Dodgers offering 35 mil a year. So it's probable he gets more a year than Price and more money total as well.

The owner there has shown a tendency to authorize expenditures beyond the budget in the past.

He must have been upset when they couldn't land Cueto.

New big TV contract. I guess some teams spend it.

More of an ownership quirk is how I read it.

He went huge on Tomas last year as well.

I guess he likes to meddle.

Puig factor.
