Deep down, they will harbor hopes that this move works, but they fully expect it to blow up in their face.

Baseball: Average Salary $3.31m, minimum salary $441k, average career 5.6 years, guaranteed contracts

Football: Average Salary $1.9m, minimum salary $375k, average career 3.5 years, non-guaranteed contracts

Yeah, that’s a real head-scratcher.
