While this initially hit me like a punch to the gut, seven years is simply too long a contract for a 30 year old player that depends on his speed to the extent that Ellsbury does.

Actually, players who have speed as their central skill tend to age better.

That said, I wouldn't want to be on the hook for a 7-year contract for any 30 year old player.

Orioles made a $10M salary dump today.  Didn't even bother to inspect it.

If a player is 24 and has three all star seasons under his belt I can see offering some one a 10 year contract, any older than that and it's just fucking crazy.

Only so-so without Cano but the outfield defense is going to be excellent.
