So now we know how much Daisuke Matsuzaka (first name pronounced "Dice-K," according to this story) is worth to the Boston Red Sox: $51.1 M posting fee + $52 M/6 yr contract w/$8 M incentives.
Let the ZitoWatch begin. While Scott Boras plays one vain, desperate owner against one another, take a stab at the final terms of Zito's contract:
- guaranteed years
- guaranteed total dollars
- option years/dollars
- other perks (no-trade, use of corporate jet, green M&Ms, etc)
- Tiebreaker: guess the team that signs him.
Winner gets a Section 138 commemorative pin. (Fuh reals, yo -- I have an extra.)
