I think MLB would do everything in their power to keep an ASG/derby out of there.
Maybe a minor league derby or whatever is enough buffer to offer the spectacle without rubbing the leagues name through that embarrassment. Cue up pinball noises for whenever one hits the walks.

>A source told MLB.com that the Dodgers haven't closed the door on signing Iwakuma, but it appears they'd only do so under a reworked contract now.
>Iwakuma had an exit physical from the Mariners following last season, and Seattle made the 34-year-old a two-year, $30 million offer last week, but general manager Jerry Dipoto didn't want to go a third year on the veteran.
>It remains to be seen if the Mariners will renew interest in Iwakuma, given they're now pushing close to $130 million in committed payroll for 2016. But former Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik, working as a guest analyst for MLB Network on Thursday, said Seattle -- and other teams -- now should have a chance to sign Iwakuma at a lower price.

Why fuckin live senpaitachi

they didn't
he failed the test and dodgers backed off like any other team would have done
shit if the tigers signed iwakuma after knowing he just failed a medical exam I would be mad as fuck.
>>64302615
They managed to get him for a year so why the fuck not? He was incredibly effective when he came back this year and they have enough depth if he gets injured again. Unless they trade away Paxton or Karns. pls don't do that jerry

Seems a little high. Something like 15 a year sounds right. I was expecting him to get 60 for 4 years or something. I'm surprised more teams haven't shown interest in him.

Iwakuma has club options for 10M but '17 option vests at 14M with 162 IP in '16 and at $15M in '18 at 162 IP in '17 or 324 in 16-17

Not only are the Teams hateable but time and time again the teams have all proven to have shitty fanbases. Every one in the division.
Jays fans, you were here this year
Yankees fans, don't even need to say why
Red Sox fans, Yankee's Jr. who act just like Yankees fans but have less to show for it
Orioles fans, most of them are from Baltimore and most everyone from baltimore is a fuckhead.
Rays fans, they're nonexistant but also the kind of fans that'd call in a fake bomb threat to the school they're a janitor at.

Now we actually have to pick 2 out of Miley, Karns and Paxton. Paxton is a solid #2 when he's not hurt, and yet he's not even projected to make the rotation wtf
