No more Dodger's talk?

This is interesting; You don't see or hear the "D" word dropped very much from Olney these days when reffering to Matt Cain and Cole Hammels, just sayin'...

No talks since early March between PHI and Hamels. It'd be tough for PHI now to offer less than 5/$112.5 million, in light of Cain's deal.

Third biggest winner today: Cole Hamels. Just become far and away No. 1 possible free agent in fall. Tremendous negotiating leverage.

The AAV on Cain's deal includes an average annual value of $22.5 million; only Roger Clemens's 1-year, $28m deal with NYY more for RHer.

Cain's deal has full no-trade protect, and could be worth as much as $141m over seven years.

Before Cain, the biggest deal for any right-hander, with $ to the player, was Kevin Brown's 7/$105 million. That has been eclipsed.

Cole Hamels now in position to expect at least a Cain deal, probably more, because top contracts have been to lefties: CC, Lee, Santana, etc

So total guaranteed is $107.5m, a shade under $22m AAV. Team/player have to be happy with that.

Giants reportedly have paid Matt Cain a top-of-the-market deal to keep him. Which is exactly what they needed to do.

Deal is official. Five-year deal with club option that can be vested.

If Cain gets $110 million over five years, it'll be the largest contract for any right-hander in Major League Baseball history.

I love the reference to Kevin Brown. Guess who over-paid for that contract?
