From what I gather, Hal, they compared his salary to that of Mariano Rivera's. Gagne had a spectacular year last year by anyone's standards, but they looked at a proven verteran with a handful of World Series rings (much to my team's chagrin, I might add) and made their judgement accordingly. It's probably hard even for him to look at a ten-fold increase in pay as being cheap. I know I'd take it.
