No one is worth that kind of money, not a good idea. I’ll bet anyone that in 2-3 years time he’ll be underperforming, his contract will be looked at as an albatross and they’ll be looking to unload him. Anyone remember Mike Hampton, Denny Neagle, Carlos Zambrano?
I agree, or I think I agree without reading the contract.
In ten years he’ll be 40. A smaller, wiry-er man might be nearly as good at 40 as at 30, but a big hulking power hitter (who WON’T be seeing Barry Bonds’s trainer for mid-30s help)?
It’s possible that the Angels protected themselves with performance minimums/ incentives, but I doubt it.
