We'll see. Teams seem to be rolling in money this off season, I liken this season to what we saw last year in Hockey and Defensemen, such as Kubina for 5+.
Yes, baseball has a salary cap, but most of these teams can't keep up their current level of spending. We'll see another bit of a reverison just like we saw around the same era as the Delgado contract.
MLB can't afford to have 4-5 CFs making around that kind of money, which is what Wells did by signing that contract.
