November, 30,
2010__Fredericksburg, VA: In response to the Rockies’
signing of Troy Tulowitzki to a 10-year contract,
Beachrats’ owner Rick Franz had this to say: “Look, I’ll
be bidding on Tulo like everyone else at the draft, but
10 years is just a down payment on the kind of contract
we are talking with CarGo.”
Speculation has run rampant this offseason that Carlos
Gonzalez was going to get the longest contract ever
handed out in the ESL, but after this morning’s comments
from Franz some salary cap experts have |
started to
calculate how many years Franz could go and still field
a team around him. If Franz wants to retain some talent
to go with CarGo the general thinking is that he could
go 38 years and make him $200.
Jamie has contacted onroto to see if there is a way to
show a salary that will, essentially, have to double up
on the alphabet. “We hope to hear from onroto in the
next few days,” Schlesinger said.
We will continue to follow this story through roster
freeze deadline in March. |
