Here’s the numbers for the Carlos Beltran bidding war, courtesy of Will Carroll. As I said on SoSH, if those numbers are accurate and for guaranteed contracts, the Yankees offer (8 years, $18.1 million per) looks the best. Too much of a risk signing up for the Angels and then trying to get better than 3 years / $15 mil per once he’s 32.
Good offer from the Phillies though. Confirms for me that the Phillies have finally realised that they actually play in a major market.
