That is a reasonable (albeit pretty big) number, given what the Cubs gave Jason Hammel. Not that it’s outlandish with the last two years he’s had – or even that they’re the same guy as Hammel, who may have left some money on the table.
Update: And they may not be done:
after re-signing liriano, who loves pitts, pirates are working on volquez.
