No. They wouldn't.
The conversation with Choo is going to get started around a 5-6 year $20 million dollar contract and just go UP from there. The reds can clip coupons and look for rebates all they want, they don't have the money to get the conversation started.
I hope I'm wrong. I would love to see Choo/Hamilton/Bruce in the of with Tulo at ss, but I don't think that's going to happen either.
