$40 Million for at most 35 games?
Trevor Bauer will be paid more than a Million Dollars per start!
Nice work if you can get it. .

Salaries across sports are out of whack. Bauer is a good pitcher, but it's an awful lot for him. He's getting more than anyone, Cole, Scherzer, Degrom, etc. It's ridiculous. Makes you wonder what a guy like Koufax or Gibson would get if they pitched today.

Yea, hard to believe that number for Bauer! There wasn't even any gate revenue last year for MLB and the contracts are going this crazy? I don't even view Bauer as a top pitcher. He was great in the shortened season last year for 11 starts. However in 2019 he had a 4.48 era and 1.249 whip. His career ratios : 3.90 era and 1.265 whip. That's the type of pitcher that's going to receive record annual contract value?
Scary to think what the top few players will bring when they hit the market next.

He has said he wants to have short contracts worth a lot of money. Some teams will like the idea of paying up front, rather than giving out a Homer Bailey contract. If he is great this year, or next year, everything will out fine for the Dodgers, and both parties will separate mutually respecting the other.
However, I think the real problem are the rules that tether rookies to their "home team." They can't maximize their contracts up front, and then they get screwed on the tail end of their careers. Manipulating player service time by keeping the top promising players in the minors to get one more contract year out of them does not endear a rookie to their bosses.

It's a 3-year deal, with him making $45 million in 2022...with opt outs after the 1st and 2nd seasons.
