Exactly. They're being cheap with service time. It didn't stop Boston from calling up Jackie Bradley, didn't stop the Marlins from calling up Jose Fernandez. Those teams saw they had a need and said fuck the service time.

Yeah. Those guys have the ability to say "fuck it" and start the clocks. That just isn't Tampa's bag. They know they probably have limited time with a top flight guy so they need to get the most out of him.

I know they got a great deal on Longoria, but have they been able to keep anyone else they wanted to? They trade Price this year too, right?

It didn't stop them from signing Matt Moore to an extension after he pitched 19 innings. They have the money, they just like letting people think they're broke and small ball.

The Sawx have so much money that its not an issue and the Marlins will have 3 fire sales before Fernandez is ready for a new contract. TB is not like either of those teams.

Revenue sharing leaves no excuses.
