I can't find any article where he's announced this is his last year. Is this inside info? He's under contract for $9.375 million for 2009. That's a lot but Suppan is owed $12.5 million in each of 2009 and 2010 and Washburn has put up better numbers in a league with a DH. What kind of pitching do you think is out there? Besides who's talking long run? I'm talking half a season this year, and next year with no huge long term money tied up. Considering loss of Gallardo this year, the fact that Capuano can no longer figure in 2009, the potential loss of Sheets, and no obvious prospect ready by 2009, they will need to add pitching from somewhere. Yeah you could say "inside" information lol. It came out of his mouth when I was talking to him lol.
