Hmmmmm... the Rangers did something similar with A-Rod. Seems to me it took them years to recover.
I’m an Indians fan, so I don’t have to worry about such silliness. The only salary concern for the Indians ownership is the effort to underspend the Pirates.
Are they going to sign Willie Mays Hayes?
Look @ the Indians Top Prospects from 2003. Sabathia was not included, but they were incredibly loaded! The only other team even comparable was the Angels. The Angels compete perennially. The Tribe stinks. IMHO, Indian fans have way more to complain about than Cavs fans.
Oh, I think Acta should've been Manager of the Year. He kept a team with no talent in the race most of the way.
