Huge price to pay but it's for a 27 year old pitcher with one year of control that they may be able to extend.
Anthopoulis gave up more than this for a 38 year old knuckleball pitcher in RA Dickey. |
It’s about sustainability which this management group has preached. To overpay with that level for one guy is crazy. Giving one of those guys up was fair. To give both guys up for Barrios is severe overpayment in my view. Don’t pursue if that’s the price. How are they going to replace those guys prospect wise?
