It's a little high, but it still makes more sense than the Bell deal.

 

The initial offers were apparent 3/36-39. So, we added a year + $1.5MM-$2.5MM per year. It's not a steal by any stretch, but that seems like a reasonably expected bump over the initial offers needed to bring him in.

This was the FA I wanted the most. We really need rotation help.

I just rolled down my window and cheered. Some girl in the car next to me is confused.

 

Overpaid somewhat, sure, but that's the nature of the game when you're trying to win a FA.

Same here. So glad we landed him...

1. JJ

2. Buehrle

3. Anibal

4. Nolasco

 

I'd say we have a guy at each spot who is legitimately worthy of being where he's slotted (if that makes any sense).

RSPN, my favorite site!

Nobody works faster than Buehrle.. love watching the games he pitches in.

Samson's on 790 now

Before the signing: "The Marlins will never win with 2 good pitchers and great offense. They NEED pitching."

 

After the signing: "58 milion? lmao, overpaid for an old pitcher."

 

Is this what everyone is saying on MLBTR?

is this real life?

Now lets Get Prince F.

Who the f*** cares what Samson thinks about movies?

Man can ST start already? I feel like a kid in a candy store!

we didnt really overpay here. we knew he was going to get 13-14 million a year. we basically just gave the extra year which is better than 6 and more money for wilson.

I do!

For the record, Samson isn't confirming Buehrle. However, that is standard protocol to not confirm anything until the press conference.

now fielder since some of that pujols money is sitting around.

ESPN confirmed it

I would not like to have a beer with David Samson.

Why Im not seeing this deal on any of the main stream sports Sites?
