I read that article and was confused because he made it seem like they were respectable, noted they didn't offer either top prospect, and then mentioned a pitching prospect that got injured.

Oh and the flaherty deal people thought was light.

Those are not attractive offers to me. And I'm sure some of it is trying to take advantage of Getz, but I'm guessing most of it is innings limit and lack of history of being able to do this.

Not sure if he is proud of it but he seems to think it is a good idea, which is just as bad.

They aren't attractive to me either, but that is how the author described them, hence the quote.

I mean serious, we aren't Oakland, why are we acting like it?  We seriously can't support a $70 million payroll next year?  That's a joke.

Maybe it’s a hidden gift.  Getz won’t be able to waste even more money on the wrong bad players.  Although that really only helps Jerry’s pocketbook.
