Transaction Retrospection: Tigers? Jordan Zimmermann Signing.

I can't think of a worse $100 million+ contract in MLB history. 25-41 as a Tiger. Works out to 4.4 million per win.

Here is a quote from the article

"Zimmermann is now a free agent, and he?ll almost certainly have to work his way back onto a team?s roster via a minor-league deal. As of May, the 34-year-old said he had no interest in retiring any time soon."



Why would he retire if he can keep stealing money?

Looks like Zimmersucks is getting another chance.

Maybe toiling in the minors after having a long (but marred by injuries) career with all the perks as a MLB SP was very unappealing to Zimmerman, and he decided to just hang it up.
