look, the steroids era, players were putting up numbers at 38,39,40, that just is not realistic anymore.

the ledge is likely 34, with a few stragglers hanging on longer. 10 years puts them into their 36 season, and it likely means that they are going to be paying 2 years of 25 or 30 million to someone who is not worth 10.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone making 175 million, but it is a serious lowball offer, I am almost embarassed to be a White Sox fan today.

And you happily overpay for those last two years if the previous eight got you a ring or three. - Krusty Jan 16, 13:04 3
- there are too many bad endings to these stories, where teams were crippled by bad long term deals. - groiny Jan 16, 13:11 2
  - That's why I say 8 is the best option but if he insists on 10 I'd drop the yearly number so it hurts less at the end. - Krusty Jan 16, 13:28 1
    - the only one who gets happy with 10 year deals is player / agent. -- nm - groiny Jan 16, 13:33
