I love it when I see deals like that Price deal and then I hear Sox fans (or fans of whatever gigantic market team) tell me how it really is a fair game. By love I mean HATE.
I mean, when a market the size of Detroit has no shot at a guy, because idiots are handing out $217/7 year contracts to 30 year old pitchers, and feel no repercussions, that's insane.
That said, Detroit is better off without Price if that's his cost. One can only hope that the type of Raul Mondesi Sr. (Yankees) and Kung Fu Panda deals will be genuine anchors to their employers one day, rather than minor annoyances.
When 2/3 of the teams or more cant take what would be a franchise killing risk while the others can, it is a huge problem.
If the Royals hadn't just won the Series, and had just lost 102 games, I'd be beside myself. As it is, I'm only extremely annoyed at the inequities of the situation.
