 Strasburg’s contract has a great chance to go down as the worst of all time. 

Strasburg did help them win a World Series.

Flags fly forever.  I don't think the Nats feel bad about Strasburg.  I would feel worse about Corbin. 

Corbin money helped buy the flag.   The new Strasburg contract was in the honeymoon after the confetti.

Good point. Def big injury history too, ouch. At least they got the championship but could have had both: championship and not awful contract on frequently injured pitcher

Cecil Fielder top 5 worst contract for sure!

I believe Prince Fielder was the bad contract, not Cecil.

Or just offer to overpay him for 3 years w/ a couple of options, the Scherzer contract.  They would have done way better extending Scherzer.

Strasburg signed his latest deal after the Nationals won their WS.

Strasburg has pitched a grand total of 31.1 innings since the Nationals won the 2019 World Series. He's due $175M the next five years including this season.

Sounds like he’s making out even better than Crush Davis!

Oops, you are right.

It would have been almost impossible with the fandom, but coming up on 2.5 years along the Rendon or Strasburg best answer for the champions looks like it would have been Neither.

2020 AAV's behind the Cole-Stras-Rendon 35's:

Wheeler 24, Donaldson 23, Ryu 20, Keuchel 18, Grandal 18, Hamels 18, Ozuna 18, Odorizzi 18, Bumgarner 17, Abreu 17, Moustakas 16, Castellanos 16 (boy was the Reds "surge" short-lived), Didi 14, RP Will Smith 13, Gardner 13, E5 12, Roark 12, Betances 11, Avisail 10, Porcello 10, Treinen 10

That's an entire FA year of 8-figure AAV guys, should Elias get to level up from the Lyles range this offseason.

Kelso, an investment banker appointed by Gov. Larry Hogan in 2015 to be the stadium authority chairman, said both parties to the lease are in a “deliberative” phase in which stadium enhancement projects are being developed and vetted. Changes could include more social spaces, fewer seats and a sports betting area, according to the team.

The lawsuit that has split the family of ailing Orioles owner Peter Angelos won’t halt discussions about a new lease to keep the team in Baltimore, according to the Maryland Stadium Authority, which says it continues to recognize the authority of CEO John Angelos to negotiate on the club’s behalf.

The stadium authority — the Major League Baseball team’s landlord at Camden Yards — said Monday that lease talks are continuing with John Angelos, whose brother Louis accuses him of trying to wrest control and ownership of the family fortune, including the Orioles.
