What has that to do with fans? Not one of the other 29 teams (not even the Mets!) would be dumb enough to take a poke at #24's contract. Even if the Tigers swallowed half the amount he's owed, that would still leave the other team with $15-16m worth of a constantly aching, average-at-best DH and part-time first baseman. And how's that going to get better the next three, four years? And I actually like the guy, but I wouldn't want any piece of him even vaguely near my team.
...and then there's those $30m vesting options if he finishes in the top 10 in MVP voting in his final guaranteed season.
