It’s $11 mm more than Chris Davis got, and Nola will probably be a lot more productive.  If I’m a Phillies fan, I’m definitely happy about this.  

You couldn’t be less productive then the Davis contract can you?

I don't know, Chris Davis probably got more strike outs.

I have some friends and family that are Phillies fans.

They are celebrating this.

It’s interesting to think about it that way. No one cares that it’s too many years or too much money.  Just that he stayed.

I don’t want to see the Os piss away money whether they can do or not….but there’s also something to be said about your team doing whatever it takes to win and not caring about consequences that you can navigate around long term..if you have ownership willing to navigate them.

No one in Philly is going to care if the Phillies win the WS in the next 2 or 3 years and then are a team with a bloated payroll on the decline.  Flags fly forever.  I wouldn't want the O's to sign a FA like Nola because the O's don't have the payroll to rival the Phillies, but at some point, you have to push a bunch of chips into the center of the table.

Well that didn't take long to, in all probability, price us out of the TOR free agent market. 

The only question is are the O's going to be priced out of the MOR market.

That’s a low bar to hurdle. Pretty sure you and I combined for a better WAR than Chris Davis did in the last couple of years of that contract.

I could immediately retire for a 10M buyout and post a 0.0 like a boss.

I could not coach Texas A & M for significantly less than $76 million and do a damn good job at it.

That’s right. One should be so lucky.

Probably put in an equal amount of effort that Davis did too.

I bet I'm more efficient.

Stephen Strasburg.

Stephen Strasburg got $245,000,000 and produced -.5 bWAR.

Chris Davis got $161,000,000 and produced -5.9 bWAR. 

I'm not sure how to do the math on this one. Since it's negative, do you multiple the WAR by the contract? If so, Davis was actually worse per WAR. But I don't know.

Sounds like the Braves are after Gray…could be the favorites for him.

Probably would be a good move for him.
