Haha good one. Unless they have basically just given carte blanche to agents to include them in rumors whether there is any truth to them or not, it is clear they do have a bigger offer in them given that they have now been linked to at least three guys with whom a $5 million offer gets you a laugh and a hang-up. Whether the money they are offering will be enough to actually land one of these guys is very much in question, but there is too much smoke for the idea of a $10-$15 million one year offer to be laughable. All these empty news stories prove nothing at all. If you believe that the Brewers are actually prepared to pay one of these guys, then good for you. MA’s idea of value is to get a difference maker at a 7-figure salary, and that is extremely unlikely. So best case, the jury is still out on this owner and his commitment to winning (although some would say that last year’s off-season gave us all the evidence we needed).
