and you give him market value so no one does bid against you

But you don't give a 31 year old player a 10 year deal, with no one bidding against you. - Jim Feb 16, 11:51 6
- If it's below market rate, and it's a unique player like Pujols.....maybe you do. - musubi Feb 16, 11:55 2
  - In my opinion...I say give him his $30mil/per. You just can't do it for 10 years. - Jim Feb 16, 11:57 1
    - *nods* I could even see a vesting option for years 8-10 - Will Hunting Feb 16, 12:10
- I'm not saying you give him 10/300....but 8/200 isn't out of line - Will Hunting Feb 16, 11:53 2
  - What makes this report any more legit than the SI report last night they offered the 8 for $200+? -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 11:54 1
    - nothing. See where I said if? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 12:00
