So apparently the Scherzer deal is a seven-year contract worth $30 million per year, but he'll get paid $15 million per year over the next 14 years. That's a pretty interesting structure.

It'll force him to save his money.

Based on the value of the deferred money, he basically got the same amount from the Nationals that the Tigers offered him last year. The only difference he is got one more year.

That deal could really hamstring the Nats 20 years from now, but their FO probably figures they won't be around then so who cares.philpritchard wrote:So apparently the Scherzer deal is a seven-year contract worth $30 million per year, but he'll get paid $15 million per year over the next 14 years.

Folks, I think the current window on the Detroit Tigers has closed.

It won't hamstring them any more than it would have to give him $30 million per year over the next seven, though.numbers wrote:That deal could really hamstring the Nats 20 years from now, but their FO probably figures they won't be around then so who cares.philpritchard wrote:So apparently the Scherzer deal is a seven-year contract worth $30 million per year, but he'll get paid $15 million per year over the next 14 years.

If their revenues change in the next 15 years, it could be a problem.

In another 7 years 15 mil per year will be pocket change.numbers wrote:That deal could really hamstring the Nats 20 years from now, but their FO probably figures they won't be around then so who cares.philpritchard wrote:So apparently the Scherzer deal is a seven-year contract worth $30 million per year, but he'll get paid $15 million per year over the next 14 years.

The deal is for $210 million with half deferred, according to multiple reports. Scherzer reportedly will receive $15 million annually for 14 years. The deal also includes a record $50 million signing bonus, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

Until someone else wins the AL Central, I'm still not going to pick against them within the division. But it definitely feels like more of a possibility than it has in a while.Chris_H_2 wrote:Folks, I think the current window on the Detroit Tigers has closed.

I think this year could still be real contention, but beyond that? I agree.

Has anyone else noticed that Baseball Reference now keeps track of MLB debuts? So it'll tell you--out of 18400 players--where a player ranks in the order he debuted. I fucking love how people keep track of this sort of stuff for baseball.

That sounds right.
