Part of that may depend on what deals they are able to work out in trades. We still have the meetings coming up and I don't think Dombrowski is done just yet.
"4:43pm: Price will earn $30MM in each season from 2016-18, $31MM in 2019 and $32MM per year from 2020-22, according to ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick (via Twitter)."
I'd rather them try to move Panda for Shields somehow, at least he's proven he can pitch consistently in the AL. Something Cueto hasn't been able to prove just yet.
I guess the Price was right for... Price?
That is huge money though. i like this better than trying to go after Cueto though, even if Cueto is younger.
