MLB should be jumping for joy, and I assume behind closed doors a lot of them are, that one of their biggest markets is now spending like it.
Sounds like a hold up is the players personals as Reyes was in Dubai and Mathis was on a hunting trip. Will be glad when this is finally official

People hate him but baseball as a sport and business has done very well in the last 5 years. He does look and act like Mr Burns, and has a knack of having the worst possible picture taken of him, but I don't blame him for putting up a stink. I think he lets the deal thru but lets everyone know he doesn't like it, and baseball tries to figure out how to fix this in the future, probably by monkeying around the conditions for profit sharing. They have to create a collar whereby if you are over a cap then you pay in, and you only qualify for the sharing if you spend to a floor.
