SI: Matsuzaka Signs for $52 million, 6 Years


If this rumor is true, it means that Daisuke Matsuzaka will be getting considerably less money than Boras' rumored asking price of $20 million per year. In fact, using the methodology developed by THT's David Gassko, the present day value of that contract is only $41.5 million, or a measly $6.9 million per season.

In contrast, Gil Meche's five-year, $55 million deal signed just days earlier is worth $45.9 million—for one less year. Johan Santana, whose service time situation more closely approximated Matsuzaka's, signed a four-year, $40 million extension last offseason that's worth $42.2 million total, or $10.5 million per year.
