    They probably dodged a bullet with how inconsistent Cueto was while struggling with that elbow problem. He may have staved off complete injury last year but history suggests that it's a ticking time bomb.

    I was just gonna say. I feel like this is just Cueto continuing to be Cueto - a dumbass.

    Diamondbacks dodged a massive bullet IMO.

    I agree. There's always someone dumb enough to offer those big contracts, but are there two in this case? Not sure.

    With the way things are going he probably lands an even better deal somewhere he wants to be.

    He’s playing with fire I guess. He may be thinking he can cash in when a team doesn’t get Grienke or Price. I do not like Cueto, and if I was a GM I don’t think I’d even take a glance at him until he’s like the last guy standing and drops his asking price by a lot. But he is the No3 available pitcher in FA, so a team could go and do a panic signing.

    Lets say Boston misses on Price, they could take the money they were going to spend on Price, and offer Cueto like 90% of that contract in a panic decision. Or if SF signs Grienke, Price signs with Cubs, Dodgers may be in a bit of a “oh shit we’re going to be left behind unless we get a top SP”

    I would love for Boston to pick up Cueto. Man. I really hope that's where he ends up now. I can hear it now..... "cueeeeeeeeetoooo, cueeeeeeeeetoooooo"
