I thought that this was a nice title to an article on the website of the Red Sox. I'm thinking - great - Big Papi will sign for a year where he makes between $12 - $16 million.
But no. This is like watching a TV commercial where they offer you something "free." Have you seen Free Credit Report? It's free alright - after you sign up for 2 years of some service. If you here the word free in any ad, run the other way as fast as you can.
And the same is true here. Papi wants to avoid arbitration alright. But he wants to do so only if he gets a multi-year deal. There's the kicker.
Don't do it, Ben. Ortiz is benefiting enough from the arbitration offer - which you didn't need to do. Let him make more than a fair salary this year, then cut him loose. It's time to move on.
