YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Why would he go to the A's for anything else other than the money? They're going to be terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to be terrible. Like you said: money. Dude already has a ring from last season (I think he has 2 actually from time with Phils).

You'd probably do the same. Exactly what I said. He's what in his mid 30s, already has 2 world series rings. It's just about security for his family now (granted he's already made millions but still). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also considering he has trouble staying healthy and is 35, this was likely way more than anyone else offered, both in AAV and number of years.

Yep. And it's always hard to count Oakland out. They've been competitive in the past with less than appealing rosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Go get your money man, you had injury issues. Bounced back well. Won a title with the Royals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
