Brad Thompson

Resigned:
Nady at $3,000,000 for 2 years
Dotel at $3,500,000 for 1 year

A-Rod's asking for 18 mil for 4 years........definitely not giving him that long of a contract with the way he's performing so far this year. I'll wait on him

I went up to $3 mil for 3 years with Barfield, and that was as far as both of were going to get. I can't wait to see how much he gets on the FA market.

Signed Uggla to $3 mil for 3 years

The latest on the Jason Bay saga:
So here's a funny story. I was curious. About 2 weeks ago, I made a test league just to find out how high Bay would go before he signed a contract. Here's the contract he finally agreed to after I increased my offer by 1 mil every time:
5 years, $38 million. That's a total of $190 million over 5 years
Now, after the stats he's put up this season (definitely NOT worth that much), he wants 4 years, $14 mil so I hath signed him.
Bay: signed to 4 years/$14,190,000 per

[Providence A's]

he went from refusing $23/5 to signing at $14.19/4? umm.....o....k
