If he matches last year's disaster, it's possible. But I still doubt it. Back to back seasons of completely worthless production and then turning 35, they may start thinking about doing something like that. I would think they'd give it one more year after that. But if Jackson really comes on strong, and Colvin surprises to the upside as a role player, maybe they'd take the leap. Either way, they probably would have accounted for the liability of Soriano's contract when negotiating the price they play for the team. Remember, by many accounts it was $50-100m-less than was predicted. I know you're just an average white guy, but 35 is the new 25 which makes me about 26.
