Well, at least they did something. Does this take them out of the Cole sweepstakes?

Umm yeah, they aren't dropping 350 million on pitching this offseason.

Oh brother
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

From twitter reaction, other teams fans are disappointed, so I'll take this as a win in December.

exciting. if price convinces him to throw his slider more he's going to be gerritt coleish for the duration of his deal.

Needed pitching badly. This is a good thing. It's just money after all. AAV will be lower than Arrieta's most likely, so what's not to like?
