Always the almighty buck.

He blames it on depression medication.

And, you don't have to look far to wonder why he is depressed.

Mike Myers gets 2 years, 2.4 million...

Tom Gordon, 3 years, $18 million...

Kyle Farnsworth, 3 years, $17 million...

Reardon made just over $2.6 million in 1992... his highest paid year.  And, he was considering one of the best relief men in the game at the time.
