The San Diego Padres extended starting pitcher Yu Darvish late this week. The contract extension opens up all kinds of possibilities for A.J. Preller, one of the more creative executives in baseball.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
San Diego’s recent extension with Darvish will pay him until he’s 42 years old. If his breaking stuff can continue to transition as he ages, he’ll be able to counteract the likely decrease in velocity. Darvish’s low AAV, especially in the latter years of his deal, could also help the Padres out as they try to extend some of the other talent on the roster.<\/p>\n
In his press conference, Darvish said that he hopes his deal allows San Diego to sign Machado, for one.<\/p>\n
