I do not disagree his contract is an issue but their payroll can absorb it. They have to many other contracts are no good also and they should not have thrown that money around. But at the end of the day no one is living up to their contracts or their potential.
They also have no real DH, no depth, and to many players trending towards the down side of their careers.
