Hey, some team was bound to be nuts enough to do it. They didn't trade much for him, but that's a lot of salary to pick up. It jut goes to show, Loria doesn't care about the cash for at least one year.

Looks like the Cubs are eating most of the salary.

Hmmm... I would have been happy if the O's had taken a chance on him for $2-3 million. What comparable player would they have had to send to Chicago?

Big Z has a full no trade clause. Good luck convincing him to come to Baltimore.
