The Negro Leagues are Major Leagues. The Texas Rangers shelled out a ton of money for Corey Seager, but was it too much? One retired player and former Ranger thinks so.
The Texas Rangers became one of the biggest surprises of the offseason last weekend, when they plunked down hundreds of millions to sign outfielder Kole Calhoun, starting pitcher Jon Gray, and second baseman Marcus Semien. Then, earlier this week, they nabbed shortstop Corey Seager. That's a lot of money for any player, but especially one who has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, and only played 95 games in Will Middlebrooks , who won a World Series with the Red Sox before joining his hometown Rangers in , weighed in on Seager's blockbuster deal earlier this week.
Rangers fans may remember from his pair of pinch-hit triples during a doubleheader back in I love Seager and I also love seeing guys get paid… but, I feel like that was a major over pay. Am I crazy for feeling that way? As Middlebrooks explicitly states, he, like most athletes, is happy to see players get paid, so this clearly isn't a personal attack. Each MLB team is valued at over a billion dollars, their owners are rich, and the players whose talents make the owners rich deserve to be compensated for their work.
