Robothal: Affeldt signs with Cincinnati for one year

Who’s the agent for these guys? Arli$$?

The Reds, striking a bargain with one of the top remaining free-agent pitchers, have reached preliminary agreement with left-hander Jeremy Affeldt on a one-year, $3 million contract, according to major-league sources….

Either way, Affeldt stands to earn significant performance bonuses in his new contract, one source said. The deal, however, is for a much shorter term than the four years he originally desired.

I like this signing for the Reds.

Not much to debate here, is there?
Is this a bad contract for ANY team?

Affeldt: $3 million, one year
G. Mota: $3.2 million, one year

I'm not happy with Melvin about this.

Scott Downs, $3.xx X 3 years = $10M
I guess Riccardi likes him.

If you were Seattle, what would you give to George Sherrill? (I don't mean "what do you think Buzzie Jr. will do"...I mean what SHOULD Seattle do/what would YOU do?)

Talk about faint praise. That's like saying "I got a great deal on the nicest house in Kane, Wyoming."
