Mark J. Miller should be fired

He's suggesting in this article that the Marlins offered Chapman $13 Million annually, and the Jays and Angels are prepared to shell out $21 Million annually. Its public knowledge that those numbers are for the duration of a 4 (I think that's the number) year contract.

Young, left-handed fire-throwing Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman is a very popular man this off-season. The word is that 15 teams have inquired about him and plenty of those teams have watched him throw his extremely fast fastball. Now it appears that Chapman is close to making his big decision, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Chapman supposedly "expects to sign within the next three or four days."

The Florida Marlins are apparently banking on the huge Cuban population that helps make up its fan base to assist in bringing Chapman to its roster. The Marlins originally offered Chapman $13 million a season and have raised that number. The Boston Red Sox supposedly offered Chapman $15.5 million earlier this off-season.

But the finalists for Chapman are supposedly the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The rumor is that he'll make around $21 million annually from one of them.

Bienvenido, Aroldis.

agreed

hahahaha, Kaden knows that those dollar amounts are for the duration of the contract!

Who on earth would pay a minor leaguer that much a year? and an unproven one at that? And to add to that, why on earth would the Marlins? And why would the Jays pay a kid from the Domincan over trying to keep Halladay one of the proven greatest starters in baseball (not saying they could have anyway).
