As an aside, please remember that when you acquire a player, he goes on the DFA list and the 18-day DFA period starts. Please remember to assign players you acquire. If you don't, I'll do my best to place your new players on the major league roster, but if there is no space available, I will make my "best judgement" guess as to which players you want sent to AAA to make room.

I'd have to look over the previous season transaction logs, but I'm sure we've had a $100m contract before.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Thomas didn't like my offer. I was going for about $18m a season, full no-trade clause, with a $25m bonus if he won Outstanding Batter. Hmm.
We've had one $20MM per year contract with Frank Nunn but I don't know if the total came that high.
ReplyDeleteFYI, $23M of that is in a final year mutual option so there is a chance that will not be picked up. I call it a $78M contract :)
