Illitch, at least, has already lived to see the Victor Martinez and Justin Verlander deals become horrible albatross contracts.

But yeah, on the other, the contracts some guys are getting...

I try to remember that revenue is higher than ever and the players, even with huge deals, are getting a smaller piece of the pie than typical. Would rather see that extra 2-3 percent the owners are getting spread out to MiLB guys and pre-arbitration guys.

I don't think upton's deal is way out of bounds or anything... Just typical that the Tigers would say "screw it, let's do something" after saying they were done.

It was a weird signing. I feel like they should be in tear down mode.
