Why? That essentially amounts to offering him approximately $24 million/season (if you believe that figure).

If they offered him 8 years and $192 million, WTF is is 'insulting' about making that offer to a 1b that will be 32 when the contract actually starts? It's not like he's Joe Mauer, who is younger and plays a harder position. Or Cliff Lee, who's on a 3 year deal or A-Rod who gets a Yankee bonus (and plays 3b rather than 1b). Or Howard...who's deal is mother****ing stupid.

Is it a little bit low? Yeah, it's lower than I'd have likely gone. But to call it 'insulting' ignores the reality of the player's age and position.
