#37It's amazing how these long-term baseball contracts never work out, yet they just keep coming.
What am I missing here?Comment -

#43Cabrera is the face of the Tigers. I still don't know why we must prove to the world he is though? Now I see how jealousy starts in a locker room. One guy makes $500,000 a year (I don't know what the league minimum is?) And you have one guy who makes $500,000 a week? I just don't understand the philosophy on this? But clearly it's business based on a margin how much one athlete makes for the revenue of a baseball franchise. The rule of thumb in business is... you spend half of what you should make. So This 300 million investment should make the Tigers 600 million in sales. Hmmmmmmm Still don't know how it's possible?Comment -

#46I will be the first to predict but baseball is going to hit a serious financial crisis within five years
The payscales are way way too high verse any other sport
Less fans going to the game and less fans interested
You got to be a jerk off to spend $200 but your family to go to a baseball game and support the salariesComment -

#47Wasn't it about 5 years back... all star players in MLB were bitching that they weren't being paid enough? This craziness all started with the A-Rod contract then Pujols.Comment -

Trout isn't better because some magic nerd stats made up to make him look good. He's better because he excels at huge amounts of the very basics of the game where Cabrera is clearly deficient.Comment -

#54Damn, over a quarter of a Billion Dollars! Obscene!
I remember when the Rangers paid ARod $250 million and they only got better after they dumped him.Comment -

#55The topper is that Detroit already had him signed for 2014 and 2015 to begin with. He should start declining around 2016....and this is where they decide to extend him 8 more years ! It's like agreeing to buying a used car a few years from now for more than a similar new model would cost.
Very few of these contracts are even remotely arguable as being not awful for the club.
I cant think of a good one for the club that is 10 years or close to it.Comment -

He was signed for two more years. This contract extensions kicks in for the 2016 season. Miggy turns 33 in April 2016.
Doesn't get much worse than this.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual

#60screw that shit, its not about advanced stats. Its because the guys that vote are to penetrating lazy to look at anything but the back of a baseball card and get googly eyed over HR, RBI and AVG. And don't ever bother to watch a game a see that penetrating Baserunning and Fielded actually make a difference.
Trout isn't better because some magic nerd stats made up to make him look good. He's better because he excels at huge amounts of the very basics of the game where Cabrera is clearly deficient.Comment -

#64Too much money and too many years for a guy who doesn't take care of himself. Imagine how fat and sloppy this drunk gets when he hits 34-35 years old.Comment -

I agree the contract isn't smart. But pujols contract may be worse. He will make an insane amount of money when he's in his 40s.Comment -

#69If he wasn't signed for the deal he got, likely he would have landed this deal on 25 other teams. Tigers hands were tied. I don't fault then at all.Comment -

but this could be worse because Pujols was a FA. Miggy was signed for two more years.[quote=jjgold;5683305]I win again like usual
