Our baseball analyst Matt Lungariello weighs in on the free agent market

Dear Matt,
With a $51 million bid just to negotiate with Matsuzaka, question marks Frank Thomas and Nomar Garciaparra netting $9 million contracts, and the Cubs breaking the bank on Alfonso Soriano, do you think that this year's trade market dictates the possibility of Barry Zito getting a $1 billion a year contract?
Sincerely,
Concerned in Canada

Dear Concerned in Canada,
Yes.
