Slugger Shavings 2052.7 - Losing Kwak? That's Wack!

[RT60]

Rumors are fiercely swirling that Semei Kwakou will be declining the remainder of his contract with the Sluggers at the end of this season in order to test the free agent market. A well-placed source in the clubhouse overheard Semei grumble about how much he hates playing for Louisville even though he makes close to the league maximum. "He's definitely angry, and it doesn't help that he was apparently shopped around at the trade deadline," said a close friend.

When asked about the rumors, GM BP was blunt in his assessment. "I have no idea why Semei would not want to come back here. Clearly it wouldn't be about the money. If he wants to leave, then I have plenty of ways I can spend his salary. You know what, maybe he should leave."

I've got a hard time believing he's gonna walk away from $106M over the next four years. He won't see anything like that in FA, so don't count on having that cap space available.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Chad on this one.
