The delusional fan in me was trying to imagine scenarios in which the Mariners could pick up Clayton Kershaw. Is that weird? Anyways, my daydreams did not come true.
Kershaw breakdown: $31M in 2019, ‘20 and ‘21, plus $1M each for 24 starts, 26 starts, 28 starts, 30 starts. Also gets $1.5M for Cy Young, $500K for second- or third-place finish.
