Previous contract: $300k(2013) There's a precedent set in this League of resigning the best pitcher in Baseball at $13.5 million(Halladay, Verlander). I can't argue that he's not.... Angels offer $13,500,000(2017)(2018TO) Edited by rock30 (A's GM), Feb 20 2014, 10:51 AM.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but Kershaw IMO is setting a new standard. With his numbers and that he is 3 years younger than Verlander was when that last contract was handed out says a lot about his talent. Taking on a contract of age 26-30 seasons sounds a hell of a lot better than age 29-33. I see Trout and Kershaw as players who raise the bar and thus their contracts should reflect as such. Not crazy higher but an extra $1.5 million wouldn't hurt. Denied (2-1) |
