When Cruz was looking for a one year deal a few years back we couldn't seem to find the money for him and I am sure Upton will get more than Cruz got that year. We shall see.
They did do it up until the Darvish signing. They had to make Hamels work by shedding themselves of Harrison and realizing that we would also have Gallardo, Feliz and others off of the books in the other years we pay Hamels. I think the Hamels deal shows what we would have to do to bring in a high dollar player. We would have to find a way to make it equal out and not add much to the budget overall. Although, if they were ever going to break the budget a one year deal would be the easiest way to do it and I would not rule that out completely.
What do you think he would get on a one year deal and how far up to you think the Rangers would be willing to go on a one year deal?
They couldn't afford both.
It is always easy for a fan to say they will free up money when they need to and then later say they either didn't need to or nothing was available. They is a fail safe line of thinking. That keeps the person from ever being disappointed as they have built in excuses. Different folks have different ways of coping so more power to them if that is what it takes.
That said, when I win the lotto tonight, I'll fund the J. Up (or anyone of major importance) transaction for 3yrs for a small stake in the team's ownership.
