Eh, they kept it to 3 years at least. He should be a solid pitcher for about 425 innings over those three seasons and has a little genuine upside to be a fringe 1 or strong 2 for 500+ over that stretch.
Their youngest SP is 33 (Matz).
Eh, it could've been worse. But we'll see what Yamamoto goes for. If the AAV is close and the term is 6-8 years, that was the way to go. Then again, it's possible they just couldn't get him to come to the Midwest.
We'll see.
