What y'all are saying makes sense, so I'm interested to see how it plays out. However, that news being followed by the Diaz contract has me more baffled. At that price, if he appears 60-times (his average during good to great seasons), he'll make ~$33k per appearance. Also, has any deal that long and that much for a relief pitcher ever "worked out"? The only one I can find recently is Raisel Iglesias, who was traded less than a year into his 4-yr/$58M deal. Emmanuel Clase signed a 5-yr/$20M deal which is probably going to be a steal for the Guardians.

All that is a long winded way of saying, "Is Steve just throwing money at the team and assuming they'll win for years to come?"
