I'd much rather keep that money to sign Moose/Hosmer/Myers/anyoneofour23434leftypitchingprospects to long term deals the moment they show the ability to be an elite player, kind of like what the Rays did with Longoria.

He literally turned 29 today.
Last 5 seasons of OBP:
.348
.355
.319
.364
.359
And signing Crawford would not prevent us from locking up our young talent. Not saying ownership might not use it as an excuse...
