thanks.

I'll wait on Madson to see if he loses talent and how he does when he comes back. He'll be 37 so if he won't sign for cheaper, I may let him go.

Brown and Abrego can go to arby.

Suzuki can walk.

I'm not really sure about Hoey and to a lesser extent Aybar. I'll see how Hoey does when he comes back up after this upcoming sim.

OK, I'll probably just check one more time at the end of the season. Brown and Abrego are stuck with me anyway, but if I can get Madson for cheap due to age...then I'll do it. Actually, see what he says to:

Madson - $1.5 mil x 3 years or 2 mil x 3 years

[nick]

Money not enough for both offers, mood's cool

Madson - $2.5 mil x 3 years
