88. Bad Idea Jeans: Hey, I know, let's dump the best pitcher in baseball for 52 cents on the dollar, then throw a four-year, $47 million contract at a 33-year-old closer, even though we have a half-dozen really good, cheap relievers who can do the job and we have a limited payroll because we're run by the cheapest billionaire in the world.

 

Just reading through some of these, this one caught my eye and I couldn't figure out who he was talking about off the top of my head. Reds, Twins, and Os came to mind but don't think those are right.

I assume they are referring to the Twins, selling Johan for cheap then signing Nathan

Twins

[Roast]

Yeah I assume they're talking about the twins.

Except they got much less than 52% value for Santana.

I'm pretty sure their motive was to keep him out of the AL, which is pretty stupid IMO. I think you go for the best package, regardless of Division/League.

[abuck1220]

i'm pretty sure he's referring to the virginia squires of the old ABA.

[imb]

clearly they're referring to the Flint Tropics and their late season trade of Coffee Black to San Antonio

[abuck1220]

check that, it's clearly referring to the 1977 edmonton oilers.

[Post Count Padder]

Seems like the Twins, though I didn't think Nathan was 33 already.
