The Ryan Madson signing saga is a good example of baseball people trying to make news in a slow week. What struck me odd about the early stories was the money, four years for $44 million. As a closer, why should Ryan take less average money than Rafael Soriano, the Yankees set up man. Like it or not, the Phillies are now the Yankees of the National League, and ball players are going to expect to be paid top dollar. I’m not at all surprised that offer (if it even was on the table) was rejected.
