Posted by: Patrick
Today is judgement day in the Matsuzaka sweepstakes. How high will we go? What will he go for? Feel free to take a guess in the comments. 5:00 PM is the deadline for bids.

My guess the sealed bid submitted by the Yamkees will be 31.750M.
Could be as high as 40M in the sealed bid but my guess is cited above. Thereafter, my guess is 18M per season for 5 seasons including one option year.
Time will tell how close I am.

I just found out the Yankees bid was: "Yankees $30-plus million".
I don't know the exact bid yet.
Do I win a cup of coffee?
I missed the winning bid by a bit more 11.11M.
I wonder if my 18M per year is close. The '5-year contract'? We'll see.

The Feds used to run sealed bid auctions for treasury bonds, and abandoned that auction style because the larger, more powerful firms could affect the bidding process.
In the above context, and because this negotiation fee is not subject to the luxury tax, I would be shocked if the Yankees did not blow everyone else away.
