Sounds stupid at first but this article makes a very good case
For nonsubscribers, basically it will only be one year at $8 mil (because the buyout is $5 mil and the contract is $13 mil, so you only spend $8 mil more), he is actually hitting at his career averages from Tampa this year, we have no one in the minors to play 3rd (Vosler and Villar ain't it), there aren't many good 3B free agents, etc.
