Well, the wait is over.
The Evil Ones have abandoned all hope of getting under the luxury tax threshold by over-spending on Japanese hurler
Masahiro Tanaka. According to
FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal,
the deal is for seven years and worth $155 million. There is an "opt-out" after four years. Let's hope this deal cripples
The Bronx Embalmers financially for years to come. The total expenditure by
The Pinstriped Posers—counting the $20 million posting fee that goes to the
Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles—is $175 million. That's the most
ever spent on a free agent pitcher in the history of baseball.
