but do you really think that sort of either/or is actually necessary, though? I mean, of course the one thing we know straight up is he's done by the end of the season anyway since it's the final part of the contract. And it's not like they can get out of having to pay him every last cent, well there's no way in hell there'd be even 5% of trade value with him with someone and even if by miracle there was, not like that team would pay any portion of whatever's left on the $25M.
and for the record, whoever was talking about this a little bit, honestly even during his "prime" time early in our whole playoffs run, he was still taking more than plenty of horrendously ugly swings on offspeed stuff from lefties. God, watching him on a slider low and away, even when every single damn person in that stadium (& watching at home) KNOWS that it's coming...
