Sure it may look dumb to be paying him $30 mil 8 years from now, but that's just how the sport works these days. The Mets knew years 3 and 4 for Pedro were huge question marks, but that's the deal that had to be given to lock up the talent at the time.

the Pedro deal was dumb then and in retrospect it has been just as dumb, particularly for a team with finite resources. everyone knew his arm was a ticking timebomb, and the Mets got 1 good year our of that deal and maybe will get 1 more.

Actually, it was the best thing the Mets could have possibly done. But that's for another thread.
