To soften the blow of Darvish to Texas:

It turns out the Ms CAN opt out of their TV deal in 2015. If they can get competitive within a short time frame, they'll get their Texas/LAA TV deal or more if they open up their own network.
Honestly, 10/$200mil (deferred) to Fielder will look cheap in a couple years once all this new money is in the game. Now might be the best time to invest.
