News: Mets May be able to Insure Santana
ESPN 1050’s Andrew Marchand had the following to say about Johan Santana’s contract, while appearing a few moments ago on The Max Kellerman Show…
“The Mets may be able to get limited insurance on Johan Santana‘s contract. The Mets are looking into insurance, but likely only will be able to insure part of the first three years of the deal with very high premiums. Then after three years, they can re-apply for the second half of the contact.
“The premiums are so high that they factored into some teams thinking when they added what the cost of Santana’s contract would be, the risk and the difficulty in insuring it.”
…by the way, marchand is doing an outstanding job on this story…well done, man…
