Per Spotrac.com, Ken Griffey Jr. is the six-highest paid Reds player this season at a base salary of $3,593,750. He is listed under 2022 Deferred Salaries, which are salaries for players who had salaries deferred to the current year.

The 52-year-old retired from baseball in June 2010.

How are the Rays “interested” when they only have about $37 to spend!? Minus whale throw in the A’s in there and say they’re front runners to sign Freeman :lol:
 
Yankees among teams talk to A’s about Montas and Manaea. A’s pitchers are currently what’s holding up the free agent pitching movement.
 
Oakland isn’t going to because they’re tearing it down. Tampa has a window to win now and possibly looking to attract a new city/home.

Tampa brings in the occasional pitcher from time to time. Brought in Charlie Morton after the Astros won the World Series and helped get them there in 2020. But they operate more through trades and farm system, which actually affords them the ability to add veteran presence like Freeman, that could put them over the top.

Charlie Morton was signed to a whopping $30 million dollar deal over 2 years. And that’s one of their highest franchise price tags at the time.

No way they commit 150+ million (average 25-30 mil a year) for a guy who is 32.

Rays and A’s operate similarly, and no way in hell they’re signing somebody for such a high annual average salary for more than a year or two
 
Don’t put it past a team looking for a new home/or player that puts them over the top when they’re knocking on the door. My feeling is, if he really wanted the Dodgers, he’d be there by now.
 
Will be interesting to hear Seiya’s reason for choosing the Cubs, totally surprising. Nothing wrong with just saying it was for the bag too haha.
 
didn't the rays give a big contract to Franco? granted not high annually but it's a long contract and not cheap at all... they are cheap but they use their money/talent wisely... once Oakland is good and have to pay their guys they trade or not resign them... the talent is just not there every year compared to the rays...They can't even build a new stadium they are so cheap lol

franco was a home grown talent under team control for like 5 more years, just bypassed arbitration eligible seasons
 
So he is gone...but where?

Rosenthal said its Rays, Dodgers and Padres but Padres have to make a trade and he might like the Ray's because of state taxes.
