If you're a mediocre/good 31 year old pitcher, would you rather have:

$150m for six years

or

$62m for two years

Easy. Take the $150M. Yeah you could take the 2 year deal and bet on yourself to earn a bigger contract. But at 31+, that doesn't feel very likely to work out

And I'm guessing he could have negotiated almost annual opt outs if he felt he was underpaid or had another CY season.

Ah well

If I am Montgomery, I would jack the price up some on the Yankees.

1 Boras as an agent
2 The Yankees are in trouble pitching wise
3 Past relationships

When it's Heyman, you always have to keep in mind that he's Boras' mouthpiece.

I think he really wanted to go back to Texas, but with them signing Lorenzen yesterday I think that ship has sailed.

I'd love him back, but I know there's a ton of bad blood. We shall see.
