Thursday, December 28, 2006 Zito Chooses Money Over Winning What is now old news already, here's what the AP is reporting...Barry Zito and the San Francisco Giants reached a preliminary agreement on the largest contract for a pitcher in baseball history, a $126 million, seven-year deal. While there was no immediate confirmation from the Giants, details of the contract were provided Thursday to The Associated Press by two persons familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal wasn't announced by the team. Zito's agreement, reached late Wednesday night, includes an $18 million option for 2014 that could increase the value to $144 million. The option would become guaranteed if Zito pitches 200 innings in 2013, 400 combined over 2012 and 2013 or 600 combined from 2011-13. Zito is scheduled to have a physical Friday, and the Giants planned to announce their agreement with the three-time All-Star later in the day. posted by Joe Hamrahi at 11:01 AM |

Wow! Barry Bonds was always worth those $20 million dollar years, but I don't know about Barry Zito being worth this much money.
This is going to be like the A-Rod contract that strangled the Rangers until they were able to dump it on the Yankees.
Now the Giants are going to be choked and strangled until they can dump this contract on the Yankees!
