In fact, just look at this year's Sox. They are paying Sale $17M and Giolito $18M and neither has thrown a pitch for the Sox. Story (annual salary $22.5M) was paid roughly $1M/game for good field no hit and his season ended in April on a routine play. Yoshida is getting $18.6M for a WAR of 0.0 and an OPS of .663. Whitlock $3.5M for 18 innings. Turner $6.7M for playing for the Jays.
