We are not on a budget , guys. Rizzo doesn't have Carte Blance either but he can spend. Look at our ROI with EJax and Lannan.
Sure, all things being equal, it would be great if they signed him for $1 mil and then traded him or stashed him somewhere in the minors. I don't think he'd fetch much in a trade but you never know...
But all things aren't really equal and there is a budget and I would hope Rizzo would go right up to the upper limit so that $1 mil might make a difference. There is a difference in the quality of a $2 mil utility guy and a $1 mil utility guy, for example.
