Well, I guess this means we know which National League team would be the first volunteer to hop circuits should realignment so require. As you've surely seen, Ryan Howard and the Phillies agreed to a five-year, $125 million extension to his current contract. Howard will be a Phillie through at least 2016, and if the extension plays out as drawn up, he'll earn $144 million between the beginning of this year and the conclusion of the pact. Howard will be 32 by the time the extension even takes effect. The early returns on the Phillies' generosity are in, and they aren't pretty.
