I just think he's nuts as to the amount, and he's cutting off his nose. Like I said, I don’t begrudge him trying to get paid when he can (he is already 30, after all).

But in Ryan's defense, here's what I'd say: this may be his only chance, in his LIFETIME, to make big cash. We bandy MLB salaries around breezily, but 3 million dollars, in the real world, is spectacular money, like hitting the lottery. If you were making $75 grand at your job, it would take you FORTY years to make it to 3 mil. Mr. Theriot has every right to believe that his skills may not ever buy him a similar payday in the future. Ever. So, If I were him, I wouldn't be worried about 2011. I'd be desperately grasping at whatever money I could get from the Ricketts. Good article, Ace.
