Juan Gonzalez once turned down a 8 year/140 million extension from the Tigers - Is this the dumbest move ever?

It only landed him on the Long Island Ducks. In all fairness to Juan though, he made some money after his year with the Tigers following the trade from Texas. He made 41 million over the last 8 years which is 99 million less than what he could have had. The reason why he rejected Detroit's offer was because they wouldn't move up their fences at their new stadium at the time. Who cares? Should have he expected to even play beyond another 8 years and make anything near that again? He winded up signing a 1 year/12 deal with the Indians in '01. He went back to Texas in '02 and signed a 2 year/25 million deal. Than 1 year/4 million with KC in '04. He's tried making comeback attempts on minor league deals or with the Ducks ever since '05. He had one at bat in '05 and got hurt. He tried making the Cardinals in '08. If Gonzalez had accepted that offer, his contract would have expired at the end of this season.
