Papelbon's Poutine said:So that they could have ended up paying twice as much for shitty production on a team going nowhere?
Agreed. Since a brief hot start, Salty has been his standard pretty terrible self, with even less power than normal. Plus he has missed a bunch of time with injuries.
The only thing worse than paying AJP 8M for one season (well a half season now….) would have been paying Salty 14M.
