i have a crappy free agent pitcher who says he'll re-sign with me. i offered him EXACTLY what he asked for (didn't change a thing, just hit 'submit')

this is what i get back:



Come back with an offer that meets our demands or don't bother talking to us again.

Go up $1.00, maybe there is a rounding error. Or he wants to play for a better manager. :p

you're right. i checked it out

apparently his agent has a hard time figuring out how to structure $8.8 mil into three years. he was off by $1.

and of course he wants to play for a better manager. who wouldnt'?

Is throwing $8.8 million at a "crappy pitcher" a good managerial move? Maybe I'm missing something here.

$2.9 mil a year

the world has pretty much all crap sp available for free agents

the guy in question is young (not even 27 yet) and i'm not gonna win no w.s. with the team anytime soon

not a horrible stop gap considering

If you need a stop gap, the R5 is a much better and cheaper way to go.
