The Top 10 Highest Paid SPs Right Now:
1. Gerrit Cole, $36M
2. Stephen Strasburg, $35M
3. Zack Greinke, $34.4M
4. Trevor Bauer, $34M
5. Justin Verlander, $33M
6. David Price, $31M (yikes!!)
7. Clayton Kershaw, $31M
8. Max Scherzer, $30M
9. Chris Sale, $29M
10. Jacob deGrom, $27.5M
Those are the only guys who come close to making $30M/year. None of them are “young,” and Berrios isn’t as good as any of them. (Okay, maybe Price but as I implied, that contract is awful) You also talk about him as being “consistent” when he’s completely the opposite.
