Opinion: Signing relief pitchers to multi-year deals is stupid

[General Bonkers]

Minimum mlb contract is around 500K, 22mil for 3 years to a good relief pitcher is about right imo.

Sounds like he pitched good at the right time to get payed, if the Dodgers need him and think he is going to continue to pitch well it's a no brainer.

If there was a high chance he would pitch well for 3 years, I would agree.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to predict the performance of relief pitchers (aside from the premier ones) from year to year.

Thats the game between clubs, if he pitched that good at the end of the year with all the bs that was going on with the Dodgers there are a lot of teams that noticed, the dodgers staff obviously think he's worth it.

and it sure looks like they are gonna be the Yankees of the west the way they are spending
