QuotePer Rotoworld:

The Brewers and free agent Jeff Suppan have agreed to a four-year, $42 million contract, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Agent Scott Leventhal confirmed the deal, which includes an option for a fifth year. "The city was right, the team was right and the deal was right," he said. "It worked for 'Soup' and (wife) Dana on all three levels." Since he made the right choice to stay in the NL, Suppan figures to remain a solid pitcher. Still, there's little chance of him justifying this kind of salary. His peripherals seem to get a little weaker every year, and he finished last year with a 1.45 WHIP

Over $10 mil a year of farging Jeff Suppan? What the hell is the matter with this world.

The Rangers' offer to Zito was rejected and he's expected to sign with the Giants....

Zito signed a 7 year, $126M deal.

Dumbasses. Atleast they'll have him for his dinosaur years too.

Lieber to the Mets? Lastings Milledge and Aaron Heilmann.

But.... I thought Zito was going to sign with the Mets for a discount!?!?!?

I'm confused.

$18M per year (for seven years) for a guy who plays (at most) 35 games per year.

Awesome.

I'm glad the Muts didn't get him.

I think they expected too much of a discount.

No one expected him to get the deal he did...For that money, I'm glad the Mets didnt get him.

If SF would not have got involved, he would have signed with NY, and for less than he would have in Texas.

But I guess its all moot now. farg.

There are so many non-truths in those comments, I don't even know where to start.

he was never going to ny...just using them to get a non east coast team to ante up...zito in ny would have never worked...for either party

zito got caked off and the mets dont make a horrible signing...everyone wins

No one expected him to get 7/126 = Truth.

I'm glad the Mets didnt get him (for that deal) = Truth.

He would have taken less from NY than Texas = Truth.

Hows that for a place to start?

Wrong. Obviously, no less than two people expected him to get that -- the Giants GM and Scott Boras.

Wrong. You wanted him, and you don't pay the bills.

Wrong. You're assuming that it was a 2-team race until the Giants stepped in. Wrong wrong wrong.
