WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better contract than I thought it would be. I'm fucking stoked.
Well, if it happens at least Texas can feel as though they got something from us as a consolation prize... LOL The Phillies have a new third baseman and an era has come to an end for the Rangers. Philadelphia has agreed to acquire infielder Michael Young from Texas in exchange for right-hander Josh Lindblom and minor leaguer Lisalverto Bonilla. Young will receive $1.2MM in benefits in exchange for agreeing to waive his no-trade clause, which accounts for the difference in state tax.
He's 24. I could see us giving him a ten year deal. what the money will be, who knows. He could give us te hometown discount, or he could become the highest paid pitcher of all time.
