But I also have some concerns that they seem to finish second a lot. So if they made an offer, for example, to Matz that was similar to what he signed for I would be interested. If on the other hand they were only willing to go to X and he got significantly more I’d be interested in that too. Of course I’ll never know but it would be interesting to find out.

I believe the AAV was similar but that only St. Louis was willing to commit to four years. It would be consistent with Zaidi's philosophy to be competitive on salary but to hold the line on contract length for a pitcher in his thirties.

Thanks.  Makes sense.
