A-Ram Question

I voted no only because I think that we overpaid by about $6M for him. I like the signing and the 3 years.

This offseason I'm getting to the point where I'm like

“screw it, he definitely makes the team better and if Mark A’s willing to pay him, why should I complain?”

That goes for A-Ram, K-Rod (though who knows what ends up happening here), N-Aoki, Gonzalez, everyone.

Yup.

We had been operating under what seems to be the false assumption that the team was limiting itself to a hard cap on salary, but evidence shows Mark is willing to spend what it takes to get back to the playoffs while his stars are in their primes. I imagine this is done with an eye to rebuilding in the future and a significantly reduced payroll offsetting any of the losses he might take over the next couple seasons.
