We made real (REAL) efforts, expensive ones, to get those guys. Way too expensive for my blood.....But Z made the bids.
If we had got them, with the identical bids we made, would there be such a flood of, "The M's are too "fracking" cheap and don't really want to win?' I think not.
But here's the rub...can you say we would be better off with them? Upton had a nice year, granted. Would you give up that year, and two more just like it, for 12 years (combined) of Walker and Franklin?
Hamilton was basically a M. Saunders last year? Worth the huge dinero?
And then our options are further limited this year.
I'm all for signing stars, but AGone and Crawford will eventually be anchors, in the contract-sense. The Dodgers are trying to purchase a World Series, now. The other LA team, too. Didn't work out this year. Might not next. Heck the Dodgers are trying to sell Kemp to pay for Kershaw's raise.
Kershaw, by the way, bobbled that decision. Unless he really wants to pitch in Boston or New York or for the Ranger AND we wants to give them a discount (hometown for Texas) then he just turned down $300M and rolled the dice he won't get in a car wreck or blow his knee falling down some stairs.
Take THAT kind of money and run
