So the Oswalt contract looks to drive up the price of top-notch starting pitching. Hard to see how this would help the Pirates' quest for a right-handed ace this offseason--unless of course the market for young relief pitching goes through the roof. Joe Sheehan at Baseball Prospectus figures this sets the price for top-quality starting at $15M per year -- on multiyear deals. A team would have to pay more for shorter deals.
... Gabe Lacques has more.
