The Marlins signed Hanley Ramirez to a 6 year, 70 million dollar deal...
this is surprising that they actually locked up a player, there fans shouldn't get used to it.
""""Asked whether he could see payroll doubling next season, Samson said, ``I would highly doubt it. We're not seeing the spike in attendance that we'd hope we'd see so far. . . . That would help. Our philosophy has not changed. We're always going to match payroll with revenue.'' """""
That comment comes off as very arrogant, if a team isn't going to spend more than 30 million a year, why the hell go to a crappy ballpark to watch them play?
Whenever I complain about Tom Hicks, I look over to teams situations such as this and become thankful...
The other thing is that the first thing after signing the contract, Ramirez ran over and bought a bentley...
So if you just signed a 70 million dollar contract, what is the first thing you would buy?
