Soriano rejects 5/70 from Nats

Maybe not so interesting, but 5 years at 14 million as an opener and its rejected already.
linky

There are going to be some horrible contracts given out this offseason from the perspective of the clubs.

The Nats should thank their lucky stars he did.

The Angels better not sign him

Yeah, no kidding. This reminds me of Juan Gone rejecting that enormous offer by Detroit.

Was Soriano even worth 14 million THIS YEAR? it was his clear peak and I'm not sure. He'll be a 31 year old corner outfielder, an average defender, and a hitter who's best year was still only a .304 EqA.

wow, ~$40 mil on bagwell for the last two years.

Also, I should hire Magglio Ordonez's agent for something, anything. Or Chan Ho Parks'......

His season was also extremely out of line with his last couple of seasons.

Conveniently, it was his contract year.
