My whole point was that if there is an announcement that he has agreed to the deal, pending physical, it's because it literally happened that day and not like, a week before.
I just looked at his numbers. I'm down for that. You think he would be signed by now from a team like the Brewers or A's who were in the playoffs and need pitching help.
When do players report to Spring Training, mid-Feb? It can easily go on until then. Heck, even later since players complain that Spring Training is already too long.
Is he going with what people assumed was the offer after WSD said it was at 8 years and COULD BE for $250m? I have not seen those numbers anywhere else other than that time, which he may be running with.
