Allegedly, a group consisting of Chuck Greenberg, money and contract men went to Arkansas to woo Cliff Lee.
They offered him a deal with an assortment of perks. Sounds like Lee can Souper Salad whatever he wants in the deal.
Whether that includes a seventh year is not clear. I was under the impression that the Rangers were going to buckle under the pressure of delivering Lee to its fans no matter the price or commitment.
Then I heard Greenberg interviewed specifically stating that they wouldn't put the franchise in the same hole it was in referring to the Alex Rodriguez deal. Says to me that a seventh year isn't on the table.
Six years is too long for me. Seventh is right out. How about five, $25 million per and Tommy Hunter as his permanent hunting partner?
