Actually, you made about 6 million last year and you will be in Japan for 3 more years. Dont get hurt.

 

Endorsements.

 

And even if the $12 million number is completely made up, and it's only $6 million, what has been proved? That Darvish is still really rich and never has to work again in his life . . . ?

Yep, coming to the US is certainly not going help you get endorsements. Ichiro Suzuki and Hideki Matsui have become unrecognizable in Japan since coming to the US. It's not as if Japan wakes up at the crack of dawn to watch them play. Ichiro Suzuki only makes roughly $10m a year in endorsements in Japan, but that's not as much as $6m. Honestly, it's not.

 

You would even be able to reach the rabid Iranian contingent of baseball fans. I hear President Ahmadinejad is a big fan of baseball, and the US of course.

So I remember hearing/reading Ricketts say that he would give Theo an open checkbook. Thus far, either it was BS or Epstein and Hoyer do not see the players that keep flying off the board being worth the dollars and years.

 

Really sucky winter so far for the Cubs.

Ricketts never said that. At least, not in the way you're interpreting it.

Alright, I give. Darvish is *totally* going to accept a small base salary with heavy, creative non-guaranteed money.
