Not all one-year accords are created equal. Let’s take a look at some the best in baseball this season.
“There is no such thing as a bad one-year contract.”
So, why don’t we break this down into categories as we get nearer and nearer to the midpoint of these one-year contracts? This will not include players such as Cody Bellinger or Michael Conforto, who signed two-year contracts that include an option in Year 2.Best one-year contract for $15 million or more — Clayton Kershaw, $20 million, Dodgers
Seemingly fading with Boston last season, J.D. Martinez has been productive for the Dodgers this year.Martinez’s effectiveness was slowly waning in Boston. But he is hitting like vintage Martinez as the Dodgers DH — 16 homers, an .894 OPS, a .347 average and 1.128 OPS with runners in scoring position.
Best one-year contract for between $5 million and $7.49 million — Andrew McCutchen, $5 million, Pirates When he plays even close to regularly, Stanton hits 30-plus homers. This despite missing time to injury annually and also going through hitting lulls during which it feels like no player swings and misses a pitch by more.
Aaron Boone has said he believes Stanton is a better player when he also plays the outfield. But even in the ideal situation, how often could Stanton play the outfield? Twice a week? When you watch Stanton run the bases these days, he is doing it in a modulated way to try to avoid injury. Can you really play the outfield that way?
But I detail the chase for 500 and the injuries as a way to frame Stanton’s career. He is someone you could have thought of not long ago as on a Hall of Fame trajectory. In 2014, in his age-24 season, Stanton led the NL in homers as a Marlin and finished second for the NL MVP. In 2017, he hit an MLB-best 59 homers and won the MVP.
Though personal demons likely short-circuited his chance to reach Cooperstown, Darryl Strawberry’s role in bringing four championships to New York has made him a beloved figure.That is Darryl Strawberry, who, if you care about such things, I saw at Citi Field on Wednesday night. He sounded and looked great.
