Sounds like a mediocre do-wop group doesn’t it? Yesterday the Sox announced they resigned Freddy Garcia to a 3-year, $27-million dollar extension. This makes the trade a little better on both ends. Chicago now knows that they didn’t send Reed and Olivo for a rent-a-player, and the M’s know that Freddy signed for more than they would have paid him. Whether or not he’s worth it, that’s the kicker. Technically, he’s worth whatever somebody will pay him, and it is less than he demanded from the M’s during the off-season. Still, $9 million a year for a guy who is not an ace is a whole lotta money. That $9 million would better serve Seattle as 2/3 of Carlos Beltran
