The hot stove is starting to heat up. Last night, Zack Greinke signed a massive deal that will pay him over $34 M per year. To put that in perspective, he will be making about $10,000 per pitch. He'll be making over $1 per second. That's crazy money.
I could mention a few things here, like how you probably shouldn't get attached to Gerrit Cole if he continues like an ace. There's no way the Pirates could sign him at those ridiculous rates.
I could also point out that MLB teams pay their minor leaguers nothing. Rookie ball guys get about $3300 per year.
