It's been fun Gordo. Give that money to Zobrist and seek for another solid outfield bat in FA.

Billy wasn't in the same league as the money we are talking about with Gordon. Billy wanted the extra year which we didn't want to do. Plus I don't think we made a really hard push at him since it seems we were eyeing Morales. Gordon will get at least four years no matter what.
