Nelson non-tendered by Marlins

55

Just a little news about a favorite player of mine. I always kind of like the guy...But I love these two quotes from the article: 1. Joe Nelson went 3-1 with a 2.00 ERA in 59 appearances with the Marlins last season. 2. Working within a tight budget, Florida was offering about $650,000 for Nelson, who might be able to top $800,000 on the open market. Some PLEASE explain to me WHY?!? the royals just shelled out 9.25 MILLION to Farnsworth?! I didnt think that deal was that bad till I saw this. also it mentions that Waechter is a friend of Nelsons and that the Royals are a leading candidate to sign him.
