Rangers sign Jacob deGrom to five-year, $185 million deal

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/rangers- ... llion-deal

DANG!!!  That's 37 mil a year?  This is getting out of hand.  What I don't like is these opt out clauses
where a player can go free agency before the 5 years is up.

Fred McGriff elected to Baseball Hall of Fame; Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling left out again

Aw, don't worry, Curt!  You get a free ketchup packet as a consolation prize!

Nothing better than 56,000 Yankee fans watching you cry!

Ironic, how McGriff was originally drafted by the Yankees but was traded due to Mattingly having the 1st base job, and now Mattingly missed out on votes for the HOF.

Another player the Yankees drafted but missed out on due to trading him...as they didn't realize what they gave up was Willie McGee.

I think the Yankees knew they would lose a lot of fans if they let him get away.

9 years, 360 mil.  That's 40 mil a year!  WOW!!!

Once again, loyalty to a team goes down the drain.  Greed, prevails.
