Riske Signs a 3-year Contract

Well...It's finally official. Tom Haudricourt reports that Riske has signed a 3-year, $13 million dollar deal that has a club option for a fourth year at $4.75 m. Riske agreed to a preliminary deal last week, but the official contract was not signed because he was attending his brother's wedding in Seattle and had not yet taken a physical. It's nice to see Melvin get this deal pushed through. We're getting a nice replacement for Linebrink for $1M and one year less. Nice work, Doug.
