OT: MIchigan Sports Thread: UM wins Natty Championship

[SoupNazi]

Pitching market is absolute insanity. This is inane. Guy is a 37 year old injury magnet. This is the type of guy that should go for a third of this because the likelihood of reinjury is just so high.

Contracts are just out of hand in baseball. This guy is going to get 17 million if he’s just okay and he doesn’t sprain something.

I thought the same thing. He made three starts for Cleveland and ended up on the IL after each one. That's absolutely insane and I'm glad that even though my Guardians had interest in bringing him back, they didn't at that price.

I'm assuming @Ricelund is busy picking up the pieces of his exploded head after hearing about this signing before he replies.

Love to see Chris so willing to build on last year’s success!

Spend the money on Skubal, not scraps.

Yeah, that's the part I don't understand. Either pony up for a couple of quality additions or commit to staying cheap and going with the kids.

Don't overpay for a lower tier guy that will spend more time on the DL than on the roster.
