That's high, considering his age. He was at $25M this year. I also think he's wanting more than two years, he wants to pitch until he's 45 and win 300 games.

I'd give him that chance, 4/$100M with a mutual option for a 5th. And even that seems nuts for a 40 year old pitcher.

Problem is the Astros have no gm. Crane is doing the GM job. GM is probably already clearing out his office. Crane is not a MLB GM but he's entering the Jerry Jones zone now. Resigning JV to 40 million per is an idiotic decision.

We also need to get a long term deal done with Framber

Something like 5/125

Considering what is owed LMJ, I would consider that a steal for Framber

We're never getting our monies worth out of LMJ

I think he’s dead serious about 300 wins. I don’t think he gets there, but he’s gonna try. No idea what the right deal is because his performance is unprecedented.

A 3rd year is a big risk but I’m assuming that’s what he’ll want. He was willing to sign his last deal with the inning stipulation, maybe he’d be ok doing that again.

In a perfect world he’d just go a year at a time but kinda hard to ask him to do that after how good he was.
