Is Clemens signaling selling himself off to the highest bidder?
Why am I not surprised?
Baseball owners are stupid, period. Any owner who wants to pay washed-up pitchers in their 40s millions of Benjamins(see also Randy Johnson) have an IQ on par with bread mold.
Biggio and Bagwell call the shots on player futures. Berkman will get his money, but Clemens will retire.

Clemens hung around Stienbrenner with the yankees too long.
Ops4 God Bless America!
It's good work (and money) if you can get it. Capitalism rocks!
Like Latrell Sprewell, he probably can't feed his family on what he's making now.
After hearing this on the news today, I decided to ask my boss for a raise. See he wanted to offer me 13.5 million and I couldn't live without 22 million.
I'll keep you posted....
//sarcasm....
PS... can the team get their money back if he doesn't perform?
22 Million does seem like a bit much, but still Clemens is a great pitcher (one of the greatest of all-time) and is hardly washed up. After having an 18-4 W-L record with a 2.98 ERA and a Cy Young Award last year, I can't say that he isn't worth at least 15 million if he has another season like that next year.
