Yea, thats insane......all that money just to get dibs...... If Rangers get Darvish though, it would help their team a lot. You know sumthing funny? I think 3 years ago, Darvish said sumthing about how he would never come to the MLB cause he wants to play in Japan and for Japan only.....talking about how he doesnt want to be a "sell-out" I guess money changes everything.... |
For what's going to end up being $100MM+ guaranteed? Yea that changes things... |
He doesn't get all the money. The $51.7 MM is a posting fee that goes to his Japanese team if he signs with the Rangers.
The total Dice K deal with the Red Sox was $103 MM + but his contract was 6 years and $52 MM. Obviously still good, but they don't get the posting fees.
