The Diamodbacks are serious! Good for them.

Gallen, Kelly, Rodriguez, Montgomery, Pfaadt is a pretty solid rotation for this year

option vests at $20 mil if he makes 10 starts with 2.5M more at 18 and 23 starts. Likely a pretty solid deal for the team

Crazy the Dbacks were able to land him for this. You feel like a lot of teams would've signed him to this deal.

So it's a team option?

That seems like a weird deal that I'm not sure I totally understand. So if he starts 10 games he gets the option, if he starts 18 games and opts in, his second year will be 22.5, and if he starts 23 games, his second year will be 25?

yeah, 20M @ 10 starts, 22.5 @ 18 and 25 @ 23

The question is when does he get onto the roster

This wasn't his best winter, but he can still usually get you top dollar. He got Correa consecutive 300 million dollar contracts at one point (those falling apart really isn't his fault IMO).

If you're truly an elite player, hes arguably the best agent you can have.

Snell, Montgomery & Chapman are good players, but not elite.

for sure, even guys who wait often still get paid with Boras, this was just a rare year when owners weren't total fiscal idiots
