Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Diamondbacks sign free agent OF Reggie Sanders
For some reason, $1.5m sticks in my head, but that might not be right. This is a great pickup for the D'Backs. Bautista is pretty shaky and Sanders can play any of the outfield positions and play them well. He should be a good fit for them.
The money (or lack thereof) is the most surprising thing. Sanders deserves at least Derek Bell money. I would have wanted a team option for 2002, but that is my opinion.
Perhaps the small dollars is indicative of a strong "what have you done for me lately" tendency among GM's. It seems like a lot of players are cashing in on singular big years while decent players are being clobbered in the market for poor ones. Shawn Green comes to mind.
