Happy for Wash. Hate that I have to root against him but that’s the way baseball…something.

Still completely shocked he's still in baseball.

It's 2:52 on Nov 28, and the Rangers are still the Champions of the World. Still boggles my mind that I can type that sentence.

It's going to stay that way until at least September 2024!

I think this has failure written all over it. He'll put up amazing numbers but if they win they'll win despite him. He seems like a prima Donna and soft.

He won't make 100 starts on the mound.

It seems like a terrible “investment” to me. Glad the Rangers didn’t get sucked into the bidding. I’m assuming there is a lot to be made in terms of ticket sales, merchandise and tv ratings that help justify the money.

agreed. Also reported that a bulk of this contract is back loaded or deferred and no opt out clauses. So Dodgers are gonna stuck w an anchored w this contract into the 2030s and not much to show for it by then.

The Rangers signed Semien, Seager and Degrom from less than that!

Lot of money to pay for a division round exit

Dodgers still need to build their rotation and bullpen. I know they ooze money, but goodness. Their salary cap tax is going to make a Steinbrenner blush.

They were bidding against themselves the last 200 million or so. Tom Hicks would be proud.
