The Jeff Samardzija Defenestration Thread

[Saul Goodman]

He is under contract for 2011 at $3.5 million and, for 2012 $6.5 million.

Seriously.

The 2012 year is a team option.  Man, the Cubs got lucky there.  Hendry musta screwed up and got his normal players option clause backwards.

Don't forget the no-trade.

Are Huey and I the only two on the board not allowed to crack wise without being called "butthurt"?  Just checking.

Wait a minute, I'm pretty sure Huey invented the term butthurt.  Or at least popularized its use around here.
