This is the biggest risk of that $700M contract IMO.
If he's worth $40M as a batter and $30M as a pitcher then you can kind of Justify $70M (and even that's huge stretch) but he's not pitching the first year of this contract and maybe pitches 5 years max.
At $500-$600M I thought "okay that's probably worth it" but at $700M that's just ridiculous. And he's approaching the age where it's really not worth it potentially.
