[QUOTE="Ryllini, post: 1171631, member: 10826"] I'm glad some of you guys are coming around on JHey not coming being a really big blow. It stinks for me, because he is a great fit for the Cubby lineup. Should we land Gordon, we get the better player overall and better fit for our team and more than likely cheaper. Gordon or one of 3 top remaining outfielders probably will more than likely come with a shorter contract as well, but still giving us time to develope the outfielders we have and the draft picks we get from the Cubs. I'm curious to see what the details were of the contract we offered. If we offered 10 years 200 mil, did he really take less money to go elsewhere? Yes and no, he would be making 20 mil a year under that deal, but is making 23 mil a year under his current deal. So more money over more years or more money annually over shorter years, so the narrative he took less to go there is all about how you look at it. If the reports are true we hit or exceeded the 200 mil number, I highly doubt it would've been for 8 years, I don't think any player would 17 million less to leave an uber competitive team. I also don't think we would offer him 25 million annually. [/QUOTE]
