Define overboard. To me A.J Burnett's deal is overboard yet C.C. Sabathia's isn't.
again as much as i appreciated our efforts in getting teix, we didn't go overboard with the offer. as for burnett, the yanks went overboard for no reason as nobody else was really competing w/ them for that high of an asking price.
if you're asking for numbers speak, example:
if a contender offers star player: 5 years/60 million, we're going to have to offer: 5 years/65-70 million, or 6 years/75 million.
