Kyyle23 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 from mlbtraderumors.com Ken Mandel of mlb.com reports the extension is for 3-years, $37.5 MM with a club option for 2012 and performance incentives. A good deal for both sides considering the going rate for elite closers. Lidge has yet to blow a save this year. Man, I would be really worried about throwing this kind of money at Lidge after seeing him completely lose it in Houston after Pujols massive homerun shot in the 05 playoffs. Sure, Lidge has been nails this year, but he has proven that he can lose it just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Bobby Jenks is loving life. Arb-eligible and closers getting 8 figures bodes well for his wealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
