He has always chased the money. He can have fun in the heat. Royals fans can go gaze at their World Series trophy.Lol. What a dope.

6 years, $206.5 million. $34M+/year. That's just stupid.
$1.07M/start
$1.8M/win (won 19 games last year)
$156K/inning (if I did the math right. Kinda hard with numbers that big)
Lets say he averages 100 pitches/start, which has to be on the high end. That comes to approx. $11,000 every time he throws a pitch.
He still has to walk though the parking lot. I'm sure he could just make a suit out of hundred dollar bills to make him feel better.The Diamondbacks stadium has a retractable roof for that very reason. It's actually very nice in there on hot days (which is pretty much every day in Phoenix).
And now the Giants sign Shark to 5/$90M as a fallback option. Starting pitching is not cheap.
