That's about the only way we're going to get rid of him is eat a large part of
his contract because as it is right now, he's un-tradeable.
 
We'll see what happens when new mgmt steps in, the deal should be done about the
time my son is graduating from college (he's going in the 6th grade this fall).

Yeah, the only way we're likely to get rid of him is if we keep paying a huge
chunk of his contract for him to play somewhere else.

I don't know about you guys, but as the song goes, "I got $5 on it"!

(BTW, old dudes Geo and Mike, it's a rap song from the mid-to-late '90's) :)
