Instead of continuing to invest in 'once weres' and 'could helps' we should
go after a can't miss' like Aroldis Chapman who appears to be the future
Randy Johnson. Ir's rumored he's ready to sign for under $24M. A bid of that
number would be a reasonable investment to make.

Latest rumors on Chapman....

Angels and Blue Jays appear to be the leaders...around $21 million
over 3 yrs.

The Red Sox do not appear to have improved on their original offer of
$15.5 million over 3 yrs

The Marlins increased their offer from $13 Million but over 5 yrs (how
much is not known).....but are now saying they concede.

The Astros, Yankees and Mets have dropped out..

Not according to NY radio. They say TEE is up over 30 mill including a
signing bonus.

That would be a shocker.....not that the Yankees are actually still in
it .....but $30 million is huge for a 21 year old amature.

What did we pay for Tazawa ? I can't remember - but he was an amateur
also.

It appears as though Toronto is in the lead with an actual offer on
the table over $20 million (possibly $23M)

That's a lot of cash for a player who hasn't played at the MLB for one
second.

Remind you of anyone? Someone who got his team 100M for his rights only?

the price went above $20 Million

But then 100+ indicates a lot more potential than a "gyro" ball.

Yeah, $50M or so was absurd enough.
