There's a scoop at ESPN.com
There's a scoop at ESPN.com on Sweeney's new contract. Has to be one of the most complicated contracts I've ever seen. Fifty-five million over five years, but the Royals have to win by 2004. If they don't have a .500 record in either of those years, Sweeney can become a free agent. He also can name eight teams a year where he'll allow himself to be traded, and the trade will lead to a raise and free agency.
My guess is that the Royals are too inept to create a winner by then. Sweeney will be a free agent in for the 2005 season.
