Mind boggling. Insanity. Now the Dodgers will have three hurler next year with Tommy John. That sure seems risky, at least to me. And NO, I am not a Dodger fan...

As an Angels fan it sucks, but as a non-Dodger hater and Dodger Stadium fan it's cool he's staying in LA which is a cheap Avelo flight away (the tickets, beer, and hotdog will cost more than the flight).

How often do these $100M+ long term contracts work out for the team? I understand it's largely just the cost of doing business with the top players but it seems like the Dodgers will have to win at least 3 championships for this not to be a failure.

I saw he deferred $680 mil to the end of the contract. That's wild.
