While that may be true, I remain unconvinced that Mr. Wal-Mart would have approved of the deal. Reports surfaced Cubs offered Anibal a 5/78 deal before the Tigers signed him.
Anibal was getting a huge payday with or without the deal for James.
FYI- I still disliked the trade when it happened, but this doomsday style meltdown is rather ridiculous.
