Well off from my hysterical and hyperbolic $75M estimate.
It helped that the Yankees and Red Sox seemed disinterested or otherwise content with their pitching.
Six years, $30 million is still not bad at $5M per.
By contrast, Dice-K got $52M over 6 years for ~8.7 per year.
Stephen Strasburg's deal was for $15M over 4 years or ~$3.8M per year.
Almost, but not quite in between the two deals which I suppose in hindsight makes some sense.
Dice-K was an estabhlised, veteran with a solid track record.
Strasburg is somewhat less of a proven commodity, however, the draft limited his negotiating options.
