Top Free Agents Sign

Once again, the New York Cobra brought in the biggest free agent and set a new contract record in the process.  Stephen Hamburg will join the fearsome NY staff after agreeing to a 10 year contract for 400 million dollars.  This breaks the record for largest contract by 100 million over the amount Denver paid to Mark Crawford 4 years ago.

Hamburg will make 30 million in each of the first two years, then 35 million in 2018.  He will make 43 million in the next 3 years, and 44 million in the final 4 seasons.  He also receives a no trade clause, although it is likely a moot point as no other team could afford such a deal.  The Toronto Seagulls will receive a compensation draft pick.

The Hawaii Hounddogs signed Clayton Lewis to a 7 year, 215 million dollar deal.  With the price of ace pitching quickly escalating, Boston gave CC Salbacca a 7 year deal for 224 million.

Jaret Benser, 37 years old, resigned with the Utes for 2 years and 19 million.  He received a few other offers, but did not seriously consider leaving Utah.

Kal Chillingworth will head to Louisville Sluggers on a 7 year deal for 154 million deal.  The Portland Decepticons did not make him an offer.

Miami resigns closer Dwight Schrute for 5 years, 75 million.  This contract sets a new record for relief pitchers.
