    Another Wasted Baseball Contract

    Tampa Bay
    Shocked they never do this

    The guy is not even proven


    It will be an 11-year contract worth $182 million in guaranteed money, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal also includes a $25-million club option in 2034 that, if exercised, would max out the contract at $223 million, Passan reports. Franco will receive annual $3-million escalator clauses for top-five AL MVP finishes starting in 2028.

    If you can play MLB at age 20, you are an extreme talent. Not much chance they do not get their money's worth and worth the risk.
