That's a 1 year 15 ( yes 15) million dollar deal. Including incentives that total under 1 mill.

A.) You forgot Trevor Story.
B.) Won't Arenado and LeMahieu not be ready for another year at least?
C.) I guess it could be a precursor, but it's not like Nelson/Pacheco/Herrera are insanely valuable. Pacheco is good, though.

Apparently not true.

The economics of baseball makes my head hurt.

1. Its the Yankees

I have no idea where Mark Shapiro got his $9M per WAR idea from...

He hasn't quite averaged enough WAR to make the math work (14.3 WAR through 5 seasons), but it's only .7 WAR, so it's a good deal.

Confirmed: B.J. Upton Rumor False
