[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 378824, member: 13221"] Interesting! I kind of like it. It’s all in good fun. Those teams are bitter rivals as well so it’s totally understandable. I would hope they’d hold onto him, unless of course they feel they can get someone better at the position. I’m just not sure there is better out there right now. You know, the funny thing is when I was playing as a teenager I would tell people I’d play for nothing. That’s how much I loved the game. I will say in Cole’s case he has earned his money. I’d hate to see where they would’ve been without him this year. San Diego took a chance and went out there and spent a ton of money. I’ll give them credit but the problem is building through free agency seldom works these days. Having all those huge contracts under one roof can backfire. Free agency is a tool, and it can be a good tool, but there is also a case of having too much talent, or the wrong talent. I think some teams just keep spending with no caution and end up with a bunch of stars that are all great individually but not necessarily collectively. It’s hard to spend that much money and get the right chemistry. Impossible? No. Texas just won with a top 5 payroll but in their case they chose their pieces carefully. Sadly I don’t think enough teams do when they’re putting a team together. All is quiet so far in Yankee Land. I keep hearing the Soto and Bellinger rumors. Personally I’d rather do things differently for a change but I’m sure if the owner approves it they will be buying everyone they can afford. I’m all for veteran players for the leadership they can provide but I do get the flip side of it. Cincinnati is looking to get to the next level and I’m assuming his contract coming off the books can help them. They’ve never really been a big spending team so to re-sign him at his age isn’t really in their plans. I wish some good young team would pick him up though. He can be invaluable in a clubhouse at this point as far as teaching these kids how to go about things the right way. [/QUOTE]
