Take it. I wouldn't trade my best chip for potential contract albatross, but something. Detroit wants out of that. Verlander may not give you Darvish, Arrietta, Otani......but no Verlander doesn't give us any better shot at landing those guys either.
Are we going to soldier on this summer? And then when those guys sign with the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox and the usual players, are we going to soldier on then too?
Next July?
Doing nothing can get me killed too. We're not talking a ten year contract committment here. Sufficient unto the day us the evil thereof.
BTW, the soldier on position has plenty of merit. I'm cool with that too. But I'm also getting older. Next year is always the focus. There is one less of "next years" for me (and you) left than there was last year.....
