It sounded like 1/7.5 wouldn't be sufficient to get it done (according to articles on Rangers pursuit, and comparing it to Harden).
MLB Trade Rumors had... Ben Sheets will seek "at least $10 million, plus lots of incentives, and a second-year, player-controlled option."
My thought would be to guarantee more money, and then get option for us on a 3rd year. Its a calculated gamble, obviously, but 2/20 (with 3rd year option at say $12-15M) seems like a potential good deal and with a lot more upside than a 1/8-12M and then Sheets is healthy and walks contract.
So, I guess my answer is, yes, we should bid aggressively for Sheets.
