I can't imagine how much money Cole it's going to get
Cole's price might be going up now
8 * 37.5 mill = a nice even 300 mill.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Strasburg's deal includes some deferred money.

Deferred money is the National way. But this likely escalates Cole. Not by much mind you, but by enough. I’m thinking instead of 7-$35 mil AAV, likely 8-$36 mil AAV.
Another way the Yanks can go is a 7-$35.5 mil AAV so he sets the record, but gets $120 mil in the first 3 years with an opt out
I don't think it'll honestly impact Cole too much. He was going to get a shitload, he's still going to get a shitload

The main takeaway is that salaries still haven't stopped escalating, which is pretty amazing.

Who said salaries were going to go down?
Yes, attendance is down. Yes, viewership is down.
But, this game is still a massive cash cow to the owners. They could have paid these salaries over a decade ago and still made insane amounts of money.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
I'm no economist, but if attendance is down and viewership is down, how can salaries keep going up?

Because the owner decided he'd make 150 million, instead of $180M, this year.
Plus, when he sells the team he makes a windfall profit that is ungodly.

That's certainly the way it's been going.
My only point is that all the revenue comes from the fans, so if the attendance and viewership keep declining, something's gotta give.

It may be more nuanced than that. Attendance declining can be offset by higher ticket and concession prices. Lower viewership does not seem to be translating to lower TV deals between teams and networks.

Giants acquire Zack Cozart.
I wanted nothing to do with Cozart as an addition, but I do wonder what the Giants are thinking here after already having Cueto, Longoria, Posey, Crawford, Belt, and Samardzija making 8 figure salaries and not producing.
And then probably wondering why they can’t afford Bumgarner...
Wacha, Lindblom, and Roark are off the market.
Roark got 2/$24mill. But Lindblom and Wacha got base salaries around $3mill with incentives...
