Yeah wouldn't want to let the real reason get in the way.
41 year olds get hurt. We are putting all our money into a horse who while still solid cannot stay at the pace he is on forever. If we get RJ for 16 Mil a year and he gets hurt we are f***ing screwed. Plus as inconsistant as our offense has been you want to trust me with no new players! Are you kidding! I mean jeez on paper our offense always looks great. I don't trust that f***ing paper anymore. We need at least one offense upgrade (perferably outfield since thats our only big gaping defensive hole). Plus we need a bullpen arm and we would need to sign another free agent pitcher to replace Garland. With our payroll if we got RJ that is next to impossible.
I'll say this again. If we had the Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox payroll then i'd be the first in line for this deal. With our payroll KW would have to have a head injury to do it.
