15-yr/$1 Billion deal...

Sounds low.

6:59pm: The deal includes two vesting options for $30MM apiece, reports Heyman (via Twitter). As Heyman notes, were those options to vest (or be picked up by the club), the total commitment from this point forward could reach $352MM over twelve years. https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/449334908843216896

Ho Le Shit

Baseball teams just dont learn, there is no way he is going to be "earning" this money 5-6 years from now. This is Pujols all over again.

It has gotten to the point where you need to overpay at the end just to compete in the marketplace.

Trout's deal should be interesting... I feel like every once in a while there's a deal that really moves the bar (like A-Rod's deal in Texas)... Trout's next contract will probably be somewhat similar relative to today's salaries.

MLB owners throwing around quarter billion dollar deals like its going out of style lol
