Subject: Wright Signs Contract Extension with Louisville

All-Star second baseman Rodney Wright has signed a four-year contract extension with the Louisville Colonels. The new deal is worth $41 million over the life of the contract. Wright hit .292 with 19 home runs for the Colonels last season.

Louisville fans were buzzing on local talk shows about the signing of this extremely popular player, saying that new GM Otto Orcin seems to have his priorities in order.

**********

I inherited this contract offer from the prior GM. I originally thought the deal was overvalued, but the new arbitration estimate for Wright is $12M. Fan interest increased from 81 to 86 after the announcement. This deal is looking better every day.
