The more I think about the signing the more I like it I think.
I'm cautiously super optimistic about the deal. As it is now, we get to field JD and Upton. JD isn't a free agent for another two years IIRC, and around that time Sanchez and VMart will be coming off the books. If Upton exercises his opt-out after two years, it's not like we'll be handicapped financially and should have plenty to pay JD. Moya and/or Collins should be "major league-ready" by that point so we should have an average/above-average LF to take over there too.
That, and after this year the luxury tax threshold is either being eliminated or expanded greatly, so it's not a huge deal to go over this year.
