The Diamondbacks signed Troy Glaus to a $45 million contract!
Bad for the Diamondbacks. This team couldn't afford Curt Schilling so they basically gave him away. Now they can afford an overpriced third basemen? How many championship teams are built around third basemen? Glaus strikes out a lot, played only 58 games last year and batted .254. The Angels, who haven't been cheap lately, forfeited a chance to gain a first round draft pick by not offering him arbritation. So a well financed team is afraid to take on one year of Glaus with an arbritation contract, yet a financially struggling team offers the same person $45 million. There's better ways to spend the money.
Bad for Troy Glaus: Glaus is leaving a well managed team with talent to go to a poorly managed team (they don't even know how to do background checks when hiring managers) that's giving away its best player (Randy Johnson). Troy either really loves golf or no other team offered him anywhere close to $45 million.
