I didn't think a competitive contract would get an established player to come here for the next couple seasons. Given this team and basically any other team, why come here?
They would have to offer over competitive deals or get guys with baggage.
It's like all the fans of other teams that think all their GM had to do was call the Sox and get Cease. It's easy. Call Getz, make an offer, and get the guy. Anyone can do it. Yet it didn't happen for most teams.
