I'd wake up unhappy for about 90 days....
The 5x30 thing seems to be the kind of concept that Chicago is hoping for, but we keep in mind, the NPV on 8 x 22 is not much higher than 5 x 30. That's why the clubs are always leaning toward more years rather than fewer.
I think by "fewer years, more dollars" the Cubs are talking about $24 or $25M vs $22, rather than $30M.
If the Cubs were to offer 5 x $30M, then (1) Prince would probably jump on it and (2) the invisible hammer would come down from Selig for hurting the other 29 teams...
