What a truly horrible contract.

I really don't understand these massive contracts for pitchers with pretty average peripherals.

Buehrle's solid but that's a hell of a lot of money. He's getting paid more than Bautista haha.

I wonder what Wilson is going to get now.

Pretty hefty. At the same time, their new ballpark features an extremely deep power alley in left...should work well for left-handed pitchers.

They got no tax there either. They shouldn't be backing up that much cash for Buehrle lol.

Source confirms reports #Marlins offer to CJ Wilson still on table, despite Buehrle agreement. #Angels, #Rangers are other two finalists.

This would give them Johnson, Nolasco, Sanchez, Wilson, Buerhle - pretty ridiculous starting five.

Wilson's going to LAA - 6yr. contract.

Marlins are just going for best name out there. They're probably paying him 20M the first year just for that play he did Opening Day last year.
