Maybe he just wanted to stay out West and beat the team that gave up on him/wouldnt pay his price.

I agree he couldnt get it in MLB. But in 2 years he couldnt finish up his career back home and get 6m over 2-3 years?

If they’re gunshy about Branyan’s back, I’ve got the perfect big bat replacement for them:

Barry Lamar Bonds.

Given how badly he was sucking here, and the dim likelihood of him getting another big contract from anyone, anywhere 2 years from now at his current pace of suckitude, I’d take the slight decrease in AAV to swap a 2/16 for a 4/22 if I was Johjima.

Get the money while you still can.

4/36 seems like a pretty good deal. Polanco to the Phillies had to hurt his bargaining ability. He can’t credibly use the Yanks or Sox to help get the bidding up.

He’s a good fit for them.

Re: Branyan – his back is the worry.
