Levine: Cubs turned down 4 year, $38 million contract for Z

[inari]

Last July.

 

I thought this sounded absurd, but it's amazingly true. Absolutely amazing. The players union would have decapitated Z if he actually signed this deal.

 

Here's the podcast (the clip is about 5/8 through the clip):

That's less per year that he wanted and less than he got in his last year of arbitration. That can't be right.

[Omar]

Stupid is as stupid does.

[Keener98]

So last July Hendry turns down this deal, but then in the followling offseason gives a 3 yr 21 million contract to Jason Marquis, and a 4 yr 40 million for Ted Lilly? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA, I love this organization.

Yeah, I agree.

[Sarcastic]

I don't quite believe this.

[E.J.]

That can't be right.

[Mizzou]

There's no way this is true.

would some more people be willing to chime in with one-line agreement posts? i can't yet decide if i believe this, but i will definitely be swayed if enough people paraphrase the same statement.

I believe this is untrue. In fact, I strongly believe this is untrue.

 

 

There you go, two lines. Feel better? :wink:

I was thinking the same thing. I'm also curious what his slider looks like. I'd like to see a lefty replacement for Ohman...
