smh.
thats a quarter BILLION dollars!!...plus!
to play baseball!...for the next decade!...plus!
who gives a rats arse if that guy over there makes a few dollars more. that's not where the competitiveness should lie.
good on him and shame on the system!
where will this peak?....Mike Trout is next, i think...
soon, everyone will want millions to play a national 'passtime'!
baseball (and sports in general) blew it a long time ago...now they are stuck with these ridiculous contracts. Totally their own doing.
doctors and lawyers don't necessarily make a million dollars. educated professionals....and they lag far behind in earnings. its not right.
I'm surprised more fans aren't turning away out of just spite...

This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." (Albert Einstein)
