I think the ALCS may have lowered his price tag a little :lol:

Some talk about Lohse getting a deal on the level of CJ Wilson, and given the lack of pitching after Greinke and CBA I am not certain I doubt it.

I wonder which team will want to be financially crippled when Lohse returns to Earth :troll:

Depending on how you think about WAR and the like, here's an interesting opinion from Mark Shapiro about free agent value from Tango's blog:

http://www.insidethebook.com/ee/ind..._shapiro_one_win_in_free_agency_is_9_million/

$9MM per win on the open market. That's pretty ridiculous. Partly it may be due to inflation and partly because a lot of the teams are signing and keeping their own products long-term so the guys available to the general market are bottlenecked such that a guy like Greinke is going to get more than he probably deserves.

The free agent news and stuff will pour in once the World Series is over, it won't just be all-Chicago or all-Cubs/all-Sox. If you have thoughts of Chicago-specific free agents, please use the respective team forums. Thankee!

I think Aramis Ramirez's contract backload starts kicking in but with Greinke and possibly Marcum and Francisco Rodriguez off the books they might be able to swing it.

If the Tigers end up losing the World Series I can see their owner going ape-shit and signing Sanchez for that much because he literally has nothing left to lose.
