I took my bag into a grocer’s store
The price is higher than the time before
Old man asked me why is it more
Dumpster diving is more expensive than it used to be. To get a pitcher with a 6.65 ERA and 1.646 WHIP in 89.1 IP last year, the Mets had to pay Luis Severino $13 million, plus $2 million in incentives on a one-year deal with no team option. That seems, um, crazy. Without a doubt, the Mets need pitchers, both starters and relievers. And all of the deals so far for starting pitching have been for $10 million or more. No doubt some will just shrug and say that this is the going rate. It’s the going rate now. But will it be the going rate in late January?
The Mets were linked to Severino almost immediately, so you can say they got their guy. To which one might reply – be careful what you wish for because it might not be what you think. If you’ve been reading this site for any length of time, you know one of my pet peeves is the organization’s fascination with guys who were good on another team three or more years ago but who now stink.
