turns out, according to the la times, ned did know that schmidt had a rotator cuff tear when he was signed. of course, the company line is that pitchers can be effective even with this type of injury. at a guaranteed $12 million a year, though, they should be more than that.

At 3 years and $47 million, it sickens me that the Dodgers knew of Schmidt's torn rotator cuff before they signed him. I liked the deal when it was signed, but of course I didn't know the extent of Schmidt's previous injury.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope the Dodgers learned their lesson here.
