"Obviously, the premier free agents…they’re just so few of them, [contracts] just keep going up and so what you have is a high-ish amount of people getting an unbelievable amount of money and it impacts everything else and so we’re overpaying some free agents that probably shouldn’t be getting paid what they are."
Nolan Ryan on the free agent market. He also doesn’t seem too heartbroken over missing Cliff Lee, calling seven year deals “retirement contracts.”
Then again, Nolan Ryan is a dying breed; he is a man who would rather die than admit to an emotion other than “controlled anger” and “stoic, stifling silence,” so who knows what really goes on inside his heart.
