Starting to formulate a completely farcical plan here.
A) Sign Fielder -Escalating deal through six years starting at 20 mil.
B) Trade Figgins for Soriano, get back 10 mil. paid over 2 seasons.
C) See what Anibal Sanchez and Chris Coghlun cost/ pay it.
D) Extend Ichiro, 2 years, 20 mil. He keeps his current deal but defers 5 mil. Or, 3/35 pay as we go.
I can dream, can't I? About what 15-20 million higher budget?
