60 million for a right fielder who hit .266 with 22 dingers.
Crazy. Absolutely bonkers.
Honestly pretty crazy the way deferrals have become how LA does business and nobody else seems to use them at all
Imagine what he would’ve gotten if he was actually a star.
Baseball is so completely screwed.
Just add it to the tab
This kinda contract for the what, 3rd~4th best player on your team is an absolute joke and such an embarrassment to this sport
Man MLB is a complete joke
Being a fan of like 27 teams is completely pointless in MLB
This guy is not even a $30 million a year guy
#salary cap and floor please
“Any team could have done this why didn’t they?” – Dodger fan probably
Seriously damn this is just a more harsh reality check for fans in a small market team you can’t compete with these big markets with the current system.
They would sign bichette next just to really make a point
The Twins signed a new janitor
Baseball is fucked. Unless, you’re a Dodgers fan.
Soooo yeah. Not watching baseball anymore. How is this fun?
At this rate the next actual superstar will get 1 billion for 15 years.
BREAKING: Every player in MLB history has signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers
$64m signing bonus? This whole thing is mind-boggling. It seems like he was dead set on another team, and they were dead set on ripping him away. I’m also going to go ahead and assume those opt-outs are not going to come close to being used.
60 mil a year hol lee fuck baseball
Weird absence of dodger flairs in these threads 🤔
Deferrals should be restricted
Watching baseball for non-Dodgers fans for the next few years will be like watching F1 in 2021 as a fan of any other team besides Mercedes Benz.
60M a year for 4 years plus a 64M signing bonus!? If you’re going to be this crazy why not just go 5 years no signing bonus
Better enjoy baseball in 2026 because it might not be around in 2027.
The Dodgers overpaid him.
What??? $60 mil/AAV for a right fielder who hit .266 , 22 HR’s & an .840 OPS??
Just silly at this point. But the joke is on fans. Ultimately, they’re paying most of it
And Tigers offered $19M to 2-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. If Skubal was a FA today, he’d easily get $60M AAV.
That contract is mind numbing
Including an opt out is laughable. He’d have to be on drugs to think he’s getting paid that much anywhere else
The easiest way to break down this contract is simple.
They overpaid. Period.
No knock on Tucker, but that’s stupid money. The Dodgers overpaid because they can, not because they were dumb. This wasn’t just about signing Tucker, it was also about making sure nobody else signed him.
When you have more money than God, it doesn’t matter what it costs to win, it’s all pocket change
Goodbye 2027.
Yeah there isn’t going to be a 2027 season.
so basically, a one year deal, see what the lockout does, and decide on opt outs…
Well, at least the World Cup is this summer so there will be an interesting and competitive sport to watch
