That would make this something like $3.5 million for 2012 plus $5.5 million (or something equally as ridiculous) for 2013 or a $500k buyout. The 2012 base salary is probably back-loaded 50-50 or 40-60 between 2012 and 2013 payouts (which is dumb if Frank actually sells the team with yet <i>more</i> deferred debt).Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029038450777105997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-1618049627754101032011-11-02T12:23:12.288-07:002011-11-02T12:23:12.288-07:00That's waaaaayyy too high, considering the guy...That's waaaaayyy too high, considering the guy was DFA'd last year. Is the 2013 option club, player, or mutual?<br /><br />That much devoted to Rivera, combined with the team going on record that Fielder is their #1 target, pretty much spells the end for Loney, no?Josh S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06838578298386299922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-30150385094442101132011-11-02T12:10:27.932-07:002011-11-02T12:10:27.932-07:00I don't hate the deal, but here's hoping t...I don't hate the deal, but here's hoping this isn't our "Big Signing"Nostradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658184241218765280noreply@blogger.com
