Ten years, two hundred million!!! That's what the Washington Nationals supposedly have on the table, though that was never confirmed. Now Sports Illustrated has just reported the Yankees have put in a bid for his services. To picture the kid from Central Maryland remaining in the mid-Atlantic is getting dimmer by the moment.
Go up I-95 and cross the Hudson River. It's just a question of how far up I-95 beyond that his new home will be.
Baseball's salary structure is a joke. The clout the select few mega-market teams have over all the rest is absurd as is the refusal to compete in some small markets like Pittsburgh.
Baseball has been an embarassment for how to run a sport for decades, but the game itself is so good Bud Selig, the idiotic unions, and big ego owners haven't been able to destroy it even when trying to give the game lethal injections through the recent steroid era, but at what point do fans like us in Baltimore say enough is enough and not just stop going down to Camden Yards but tune out the sport all together?
