Piazza's option was mutually held by the club and player for $8 million. His strong season in San Diego encouraged the notion that he could return in 2007 for a lesser figure.
I hope they can get him back. He did really well, and I'd like to see him do it again. $8 million would have been too much though, but hopefully he'll come back for cheaper.
