![A big signing was expected after the Dodgers traded Yasiel Puig, so what are they waiting for? - Los Angeles Times](https://www.latimes.com/resizer/gMBTf-wv0KfU17MOBTMEpM7Diho=/1200x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/A2QHBSIN5BCN5B6ZJOOTW2OANA.jpg)
Of course, that’s not what the fans see. When they see a player in his mid- to late-30s being paid $25 million, they think he’s stealing money, when in reality he probably should have already collected that $25 million on top of whatever he made as a 30-year-old at the height of his powers. So if the Dodgers are looking for a shorter deal, that’s fine. But they should be prepared to pay accordingly.
