this is bad news no matter how you slice it.
did they announce this a while back and i just missed it? if not, why would they not announce until now and sit on it for over a month?Jerseys hanging in my den : Santo, Jenkins, Williams, Banks, Grace, Sandberg, Dawson, Eckersley, Sutcliffe, Wood, Prior, Zambrano, Lee
Oddly enough, I never bought a Sosa jersey, even during his best years. -
This has been known for awhile thus Prior filing for arbitration awhile back with Patterston, Hairston, etc...What a Batted Ball is Worth (in terms of a run):

If Prior didn't file for arbitration he would have made 5+ million this season, now he's looking at 6-7 million for the 2006 season.What a Batted Ball is Worth (in terms of a run):
