I know, but there's gotta be a limit for them, doesn't there? There's only so much of the luxury tax they're going to be willing to pay. That's all I'm saying.
Rumors of 8 yrs 180M for Shin Soo Choo...my lord the world has truly gone mad.
Hewson, I'll leave the rest to you
Gotcha. They are making a bet that ARod will get suspended, and are probably fine paying the tax if the arbitrator reverts the penalty...
I wouldn't be surprised to see Seattle get desperate soon.I hate this part of the offseason. Where the smart GMs are wheelin' and dealin'. And all your team has done is sign a poor defending bench player who is not a good hitter to an overmarket contract.
The Mariners are going after Robbie Canoe, don'tcha know...

What?
If the Tigs sign Choo to a long term deal, I'm going to blow a gasket. How can anyone be offering him that kind of money when he's essentially a platoon player? .215 w/ 9 (nine!) extra base hits against lefties last season?
He's a 4-win player now. At age 31. $22.5 million for 4 wins is pretty reasonable. But that money for that many years ... yeah, no thanks.
What?
