When it was reported the other day by Christopher Meola that Kenta Maeda had signed with the Dodgers for eight years, most were understandably skeptical. That skepticism only grew when Meola later reported that the deal was for $24 million guaranteed with a bunch of performance bonuses, because why would anybody agree to that contract when almost every half-decent pitcher is getting $100 million guaranteed?
@mlbtraderumors @MLBONFOX Kenta Maedas deal is for 8yrs 24 Million, + 10-12 million a yr in incentives. 3 million AAV.
