Posted December 8, 200618 yr Mets re-signed RHP Guillermo Mota to a two-year, $5 million contract. And they say cheaters never win. Giving a guaranteed two-year deal to a pitcher whose only really good run in the last two years came before he was caught taking PEDs seems like a substantial risk. Still, the Mets can afford it. Mota will rejoin the pen at the end of May after serving his 50-game suspension at the beginning of 2007. RotoWorld.com
December 8, 200618 yr Great signing. He made a boo boo by using roids but w/e. 2.5 million is pocket change and say he didnt use steroids and get banned for 50 games, he would have got 4-5m a year in this market.

December 8, 200618 yr Author They also designed the contract to lessen the loss of money during the suspension a bit. While Guillermo Mota received a $5 million contract from the Mets, he's set to lose a little more than $500,000 of it while serving his 50-game suspension to begin next season. The contract is set up so that Mota will make $1.8 million next year and $3.2 million in 2008. Since he can't get paid during the suspension, he'll lose close to one-third of his 2007 salary. -- RotoWorld
December 8, 200618 yr What the f***? He gets suspended, let's make him learn his lesson...so LETS BACKLOAD THE DEAL?!??!!? Are you f***ing kidding me?!?!?!?!?! Selig better not approve that deal. He's tried to black-ball steroid users in the past (like Palmeiro being forced out).
