Transaction Analysis
Diamondbacks sign Curt Schilling to a 3
year, $33 million extension
Somebody please tell us: are they bankrupt or
not??? Right now the Diamondbacks are making a very risky move giving Curt
Schilling an $11 million per year extension for 3 years.
Schilling is 34 years old with a 38-year old arm. While he's
still one of the more effective pitchers in the league, it's hard to
see that lasting much longer. If he could stay healthy and as
effective as he has been for the length of the contract this would
be a terrific move, but we all know that just won't happen. They're
investing money that we're not sure they have in a commodity that
could easily get injured. That's just not smart business for
an organization that needs to start practicing good business
practices.
