It’s probably for less $ than Nomar could have accepted from the Sox in early 2003.

I love it when players decline a lucrative offer and end up making less.

Hi Billy: I read they were close in the Bosto Globe this morning; something like 6 or 8m for a year. And Nomar turned down 60m from the Red Sox a year ago. Amazing.

Nice incentives.

Garciaparra would make $500,000 each for 535 and 550 plate appearances. He also gets $400,000 each for making 130, 135, 140, 145 and 150 starts.

$400K for showing up to work every 5 times.

8 million base and incentives up to 14 million. He turned down 60 mill over years twice and then 48 mill over 4.

"thanks beautiful."
