Yeah it’s a crap punishment, he was mostly injured this year wasn’t he? Team in last place, his pay goes up next year, he wipes his butt with 3 mil he’ll lose this year.
It’s being reported the Spankees are interested in adding another overpriced player, Alfonso Soriano. Of course they’ll want the Cubs to pick up most of the tab.
“Spankees...Alfonso Soriano...Of course they’ll want the Cubs to pick up most of the tab.”
A player without a position. At least he can DH in the AL.
I suspect the trend in MLB is going to be: younger than 30-32 y/o, players will get paid. After that, assume the players are juiced in some form and pay according to the risk of them being suspended.
The juicing that led to big salaries in the past will be the cause of salaries going down and players getting retired now and going forward.
