I would be surprised if Gordon gets over 75 mil.

I think the floor is 4/75, however there are other similar players on the market that could effect how this plays out. I'd hate to see the Royals sign him for even 4/80 - if we cant do a 3 year contract (which we most likely can't) we should move on.
Love Gordon - was there for his first at bat against the Red Sox and have loved his leadership but baseball is a business. Teams like ours can't miss on 4 year bloated contracts to pay for a defensive tooled player. The money makes the inefficiency we are tying to exploit a losing proposition.
