Macias is originally on the list as 1.2 mil for next year....Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he's under contract, so why would we voluntarly sign him for 1.2 mill when the Cubs could get my 7 year old nephew(for a set of baseball cards and a season's supply of soda and cotton candy) to match his production? Now Neifi on the other hand...I know he's been given all kinds of grief on this board at different times...but he's really been a life saver this year.
