I'd leverage the fact that I'm about to have to pay him 10-12 mil/year still. You're not getting my 1st and 2nd and having to do that. Here's my earlier 3rd and be happy you get to pay Cooks pennies for two years.

But this is our front office, so who am I kidding.

This is the best take on any speculated trade. I wish a local sports writer would have the guts to say this.
