That's what I'm really afraid of. I don't want what happened to Oakland when Giambi signed w/ the Bankees to happen to us if Mags left AFTER the season. I'd rather see us get something out of it, if it's definite that we can't keep him.
I know I'm stating the obvious here, but if Mags was still only making $8M, I don't think we'd even be having this conversation. Mags name would be in stone in RF.
