Stephen Strasburg has signed a 7 year 245 million dollar contract to stay at home with the Washington Nationals.
Strasburg is first out of him and other top free agent pitching attraction Gerrit Cole to make a move. Strasburg’s contract is record breaking but will soon be broken by Mr Cole himself. Gerrit Gole is still Favorited to sign with the Yankees, Dodgers or Angels before winter meetings are over.
This is certainly a gamble by the Nationals locking up their world series MVP for 7 years and all that money as Strasburg has a long and detailed injury history which includes Tommy John. We know very well that when a pitcher receives Tommy John surgery at a young age he is very prone to receiving a second surgery.
It is now time to sit back and play the waiting game to see where, when and how much Gerrit Cole signs for. What we do know is that it will be record breaking and nothing short of historic.
