Rockies’ closer Wade Davis has 40 saves, but is he worth $52 million?

Colorado Rockies: Has Wade Davis lived up to his contract? | Rox Pile
In case you missed it, the Colorado Rockies spared no expense signing free agent relief pitchers over the 2017-2018 offseason. The player who received the highest contract, Wade Davis, has been the most effective. Signing for three years and $52 million, Davis not only set a Rockies’ reliever contract record, but he is the highest-paid bullpen arm in the history of baseball. The Rockies reportedly offered the same contract to Greg Holland, their closer from 2017. After settling for a one-year deal with the St Louis Cardinals, Holland pitched an utterly disastrous 25 innings for the Redbirds.
