witesoxfan Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 04:54 PM) For lots of cash. To be fair, they will either send him checks or do some sort of direct deposit, and at that point he can receive the cash, so this deal is slightly more complicated.

I'd think $12 million a year is more than enough for a player like him. Just goes to show how movable that Rios contract is right now.

With all the influx of $ coming in from tv contracts specifically the espn deal brining in $25m to each teams coffers. Rios's contract looks very good if he can continue to be a 3WAR player. I hope he has finally figured it out and continue this type of production for the remainder of his contract 12.5 this year and next, and 13.5 or a 1m buy out for his age 34 season in 2015.

The only issue with Rios is consistency year in and year out. But the same could be said about Upton. Other than age, Rios has Upton beat.

southsider2k5 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Biggest free agent contract in Braves history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2012 -> 07:47 AM) Biggest free agent contract in Braves history. To B.J. freakin' Upton. LOL They'll have to pay Heyward soon though, so that mark is unlikely to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically Heyward wouldn't count against that since he's not going to be a free agent...so for all I know the Braves have signed someone to a larger contract but that was just an extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
