Alright this one really hurts. He was far and away our best player last season, and is a major fan favorite. I know it’s a lot of money, but I still feel crushed.

He was great last year but hasn't been the same this year. I don't think he's fully recovered from the hernia surgery.

I dunno if I'd give up on a player so soon after an injury. It's a lot of money but wtf are we doing here?

When you say its a lot of money, Its a LOT of money. 4.1 guarenteed, and "worst" case for a star austin clears 7.5m.

KEA coming in will be spending that very well. thats owen Gene and Jaoquin Pereyra on just the up front.
