Yeah but you are paying whoever you take on too. So if they're worth it heir arb numbers will be high. Overall bill would be hefty even if they do work out.
Its not really that interesting. None of those prospects except maybe Abrams are worth paying 75-80 million. They'd have to include more or add money themselves
I dont think that is enough. Certainly not for the 2 not Gore/Abrams prospects. Gore I dont know, I'd still want more. Makes more sense for Abrams, maybe, only.
So why not wait until August 1st to pull this stunt? Killed any value he had. I wouldnt even release him at this point. Keep him on roster hostage if we can find a way to get him off the 40 man.
