Would you fire your multi-million dollar employee?

[J.R.]

Should a cash strapped team (they issued a capital call to general partners last year) incurr a 19 million dollar charge now, as opposed to deferring much over it into the future, or is it worth it to "take a stance" for PR reasons and try to get out of this bad contract?

A PR move becuase of the media, or a chance to try to avoid paying 19 million they very well may end up owing presently, as opposed to having it be deferred into the future? Other folks have done worse I would think.

good question. I suppose the Colorado front office should have anticipated this was going to happen, thus they probably should have deferred a lot of it to the future. They are really taking a chance here, because its not givin that Neagle will get his money. I am going to have to be a monday morning QB here. Only time will tell which move would have been better. From a strictly PR angle, this looks really good for the Rockies though.

Nah i said at least. They might be able to get it down to half, or they might end up paying it all. Overall though i think they had to take the CHANCE that they could successfully void it or settle for less.

I think I agree with you, he wasn't going to play, they were on the hook for the full deal and the team isn't going anywhere anytime soon so even if it backfires and they owe it all now, its not like they won't able to sign a crucial free agent and acheive some postseason success. And its PRific to take this stance.

ever been booked and photo'd? No one looks good in those pictures. That having been said, 40 dollars *is* awfully cheap, she isnt that attractive.
