I'm not arguing that he didn't provide value. He threw 230 innings, that's valuable. It's not worth $30MM.

And given how we understand how much monetary value WAR has, he was worth $36MM

he gave them 230 innings with a fip at 3.6 and a fip- at 86. Sure, they probably wanted a fip of sub 3 and a fip- of sub 70, but him giving them 230 innings at those numbers is far from a failure and the value shows that

And fine, chalk that David price contract up as a bad one after his rough year this year. Even though I disagree, it still doesn't change the fact that we have a bunch of other recent examples of players getting $200MM in their 30s and it working out
