its hard to talk about baseball player's salaries since there is no cap, but if signing kershaw to $300million doesn't affect the way they sign other players or spend on personnel (scouts/coaches/etc.) then its hard to argue against it.
i do agree, though. no player is worth that much money.
Exactly how I feel. Being realistic though, ideally you sign him for less but when push cornes to shove, that man is going to get paid and deservedly so. Hopefully he gets resigned before he becomes a free agent though.
Some players are worth superstar money and deserve it. Some players are overpaid and don't deserve the money they get. Imo Kershaw deserves whatever big contract he ultimately gets.
To use a basketball comparison, a guy like lebron is worth a huge max contract, a guy like joe Johnson isn't worth that same max contract. Big spending is cool when its on the right guy imo.
