and the Arizona Diamondbacks have finalized their $3.25 million Luis Severino Jersey , one-year contract.A 33-year-old right-hander, Holland was 2-2 with a 4.66 ERA with St. Louis and Washington last season, when he earned $14 million. He has a 2.83 ERA in eight major league seasons.He can earn an additional $3.5 million in performance bonuses: $1 million for games and $2.5 million for games finished.Holland would get $50,000 each for 15, 20, 25 and 30 games; $100,000 apiece for 35, 40, 45 and 50; and $200,000 each for 55 and 60. He would earn $50,000 each for 15 and 20 games finished; $150 http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-giancarlo-stanton-jersey ,000 apiece for 25, 30, 35 and 40; $300,000 each for 45 and 50; and $600,000 apiece for 55 and 60.Arizona announced the agreement Thursday. To clear a roster spot, right-hander Jake Barrett was designated for assignment.Holland was an outstanding closer with Kansas City, where he had a 1.80 ERA in 2011, a 1.21 ERA and 47 saves in 2013 and a 1.44 ERA with 46 saves in 2014.An elbow injury that required surgery in 2015 affected his velocity, but he has remained mostly effective.Holland pitched one season for Colorado before going to St. Louis last year. Holland was released by the Cardinals after going 0-2 with a 7.92 ERA in 32 games. He signed with Washington and was 2-0 with a 0.84 ERA in 24 games for the Nationals. For a complete history of the win, read Frank Vaccaro's piece for the Society for American Baseball Research. But the concern here is about the stat's origin.Hall of Fame writer Henry Chadwick invented the win in 1884 and began publishing individual totals in 1885.The Sporting News began to follow suit in 1888, but with a disclaimer (via Vaccaro):"[The win] seems to place the whole game upon the shoulders of the pitcher and I don't believe it will ever become popular even with so learned a gentleman as Mr. Chadwick to father it. Certain it is that many an execrable pitcher game is won by heavy hitting at the right moment after the pitcher has done his best to lose it."And yet Aaron Judge Jersey , assigning wins and losses to individual pitchers made some sense initially.Through the first few decades of Major League Baseball's existence, it tended to be the responsibility of one pitcher to keep the opposing offense in check. He either did or didn't, and games were won and lost depending on his ability on a given day.But baseball isn't like that anymore. There's now a division of labor between starting pitchers and relief pitchers, and it's becoming more even with each passing year:Not surprisingly, the share of wins has followed the same pattern:There's no slowing this train down.On the contrary, it's speeding up.The 2016 (1,749) and 2017 (1,903) seasons produced more starts of five or fewer innings than any in history, and there have already been 1,437 such starts in 2018. This is largely reflective of how much teams value and trust their bullpens. And with the Tampa Bay Rays getting solid results from their beta test of using their bullpen to handle entire games, "bullpenning" is more a threat than ever to traditional pitching roles.The win isn't the only statistic which assigns individual credit to team-oriented feats that's holding steady in public discourse. The RBI and the save are as well. It would be best if they were downplayed Gleyber Torres Jersey , if not altogether ignored.But at this point, nothing is more antiquated than crediting individual pitchers with having "won" or "lost" a game. As the effort to keep the opposition in check becomes more and more of a team effort, it will become a downright stupid idea.The bright side, however, is that baseball seemed ready for the win to fall out of favor even before deGrom embarked on his strangely historic season.When FanGraphs' David Laurila surveyed players about killing the win in 2015, few went to bat for it. In 2017, even one guy who gets a lot of wins expressed his indifference."It's really not a good way to evaluate a pitcher," Max Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner and two-time 20-game winner, told Manny Randhawaof Sports on Earth. "You can be on a good or a bad team and that affects your win-loss record."For his part, deGrom appears to be on the same page. Following the Mets' 8-0 victory against the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 8 Tyler Austin Jersey , he told reportershis goal isn't to win games, but to "go out there and keep guys from getting around the bases."Not surprisingly, his manager is fine with this."I don't value win-loss record anymore鈥攐r, as much," Mets skipper Mickey Callaway said, according to Tyler Kepner of the New York Times. "I think there is something to be said about run prevention when you're talking about pitching. That's what pitching's all about. And Jacob is probably the best in the big leagues this year at that."This doesn't mean deGrom has the National League Cy Young Award as good as won. If all things are roughly equal between him and Scherzer once again dominating with a 2.19 ERA and an MLB-high 227 strikeouts latter's record (currently 15-5) may be what sways voters.However, there's no time like the present for a win-loss record to be disregarded in favor of what actually matters.If that happens, the win may finally and rightfully be laid to rest.
