Rosenthal: Jays and Eckstein Close to Deal

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

He signed, 1 year 4.5 million.

 

Yep. Would have taken that over Theriot.

 

Excuse me while I go get sick.

 

I'll preface this by saying Theriot sucks....but no way would I take Eckrat @ 4.5 million vs whatever Theriot makes(400K?)

Theriot is horrible (72 OPS+ last year) while Eckstein is slightly below average (99, 81, 93 the last three year). Eckstein has also put up a .350 OBP or higher each of the past three years. I'd take him at one year, $4.5M over Theriot any day.
