$700K between Sale and Strasburg. Supply and demand is real in MSB.
To me what's interesting is that Strasburg is a much better pitcher for this upcoming season, so the difference in salaries seems smaller to me than it should be.
And both were Blues last year. Believe me I wanted in on one or both, but man pitching is a HUGE need this offseason.
Part of it is Strasburg has been inconsistent throughout his career with either injuries or under/over-performing one year to the next. He’s only been a true Ace once in the last 5 seasons. He doesn’t always fare well against lefties some years, serving his team more like a #4 sometimes. I’ll be watching his 2020 real life season to see if he can keep these numbers up.
Rumor is Stras likes putting trophies on the shelf like a Cy Young and rings on his fingers. Signing with Chicago he hopes both things are in his near future.
