McGuire was on TGOR this morning and he said that there was no chance Chris Neil was worth 2 million. He said even 1.5 was a stretch, but saw the 1.5 as a 'doable' number. He was pretty blunt in saying that Neil might have a difficult time having a team swallow 2 million per year for his services - and suggested gently that Neil bite the bullet and take the 1.5 million.
When asked if he would consider paying Neil 1.8 million - or in that range - McGuire said that at that point, it would be time to trade him and move on.
I agree personally with Baldie. I cannot imagine Chris Neil getting 2 million dollars - not here anyway. So I guess we all need to make peace with him leaving - unless of course he wakes up and decides he'll take the 4.5 million and be happy with it.
