4 years  and 240 million? Great for baseball they say 😞

What?? $60 million per? Wow, if Skubal has another Cy-like season, his price just went up. Holy cow...

Absolutely absurd for MLB to go another day without a salary cap.

Blow it up, man.    That upcoming CBA has to change things.  This is ridiculous.    If it means losing a season, then do it.     This is crazy.

There has to be major deferrals. He's a 4 WAR player. 

$30 million deferred but it doesn't say how much per year.

No way do I want to lose a season.  I am too old for that.  It's going to to be fun meeting the Dodgers in the World Series some year and beating them.

Once the Dodgers sign Skubal at the end of the season, they'll have more AAV to 3 players:Tucker, Ohtani and Skubal; than the total payroll of maybe 20 teams.

i cant wait until baseball gets a salary cap so we can all try to figure out if the dodgers are over the second apron so they can use their mid level exception or if they have to trade a $6.7 million trade exception to tampa for the rights to a player they will cut in order to create a third exception to retain a 4th players rights. 

salary caps are stupid.  they will remain stupid no matter what team is throwing stupid money after 30+ year old declining corner outfielders.
