Zduriencik's statements "of course" we could use Kenji the next two years. Johnson's had surgery, Moore's unknown, yada yada yada.
That is exactly what I tell Nero, if I'm trying to get him to buy into a $0 payout.

... it's possible, I suppose, that Zduriencik wanted Johjima at $8M. If that were the case, it would go in the debit column for him as a roster evaluator, as far as I'm concerned.
Johjima-san is a top-notch catcher, but in Seattle, the whole situation is a liability. I wouldn't pay $427,000 for the situation, much less $8M.
