Yost seems to have gotten the bad end of this deal...
LY he rides his horse Cordero,...one of the main reasons the Brewers had such a good year.
Then Doug Melvin decides to let Cordero go and signs Gagne to replace him. :aktion033
Yost is screwed here...could end up costing him his job.
Gagne is making 6million this year...Cordero 5.4mill. But it is always the manager that falls on the sword...while the GM stays fat happy.

Actually Gagne is making 10 mil this year, could earn another 1 mil in incentives.
Not sure how Cordero's deal is structured year by year, but he is making 46 mil over 4 years, so it works out to 11.5 mil per year.
Brewers offered Cordero 42 mil over 4 years, Red offered him 46 over 4 years and he took it without giving the Brewers a chance to make a counteroffer.
I was glad he walked for that price, no way he has 4 good years left in the tank. Still would rather pay Gagne 10 mil for 1 year than Cordero 42 mil for 4 years...
