Wheeler signed a five-year $118 million contract with the Phillies ($23.6 million a year)
He definitely landed a sweat heart 'richest free agent market' deal

Bumgarner signed a five-year $85 million contract with the Diamondbacks ($17.5 million a year)

After his motorcycle accident, then his busted arm, Bumgarner totally lost his magic and is on the decline. Hell, there were a few games I watched last season that were just plain painful to watch. That being said, I wish him luck and hope he finds his mojo again because he's wicked good when he's in the groove
