Kluber $38.5M, per @MLBastian, Carrasco $38M, per @JonHeymanCBS. Reason numbers are close is that Carrasco has 3+ yrs service, Kluber 2+.

 

Carrasco deal 2015 thri ’18, with options for ’19 and ’20. Had been signed for 2015. So, either new four-year deal or three-year extension.

 

Kluber: $38.5M for five years, potential $77M if all escalators met. $1M bonus. Salaries starting in ’15: $1M, $4.5M, $7.5M, $10.5M, $13M.

 

Kluber 5th year can go from $13M to $17M with escalators. $13.5M opt for 20 (max $17.5M with esc), $14M opt for 21 (max $18M) or $1M buyout.

Guaranteed money to pitchers when you don't have to is bad.

The two club option years on each contract make me like the deals for the Indians.
