Ive been thinking about getting rj and beltran(which I doubt would happen as we have little chance at getting one of them)
Anyways, say we deal konerko and garland for RJ, we then add 3-4 million to our payroll. Losing maggs and including raises, I'd guess we save around 7-8 million. So lets say reinsdorf is adding 15 million to payroll and we have gone about 3 million under last years payroll we then sign beltran for 18 million per.
This will never happen because kenny and reinsdorf are to stupid to realize the opportunity of getting arguably the best pitcher and best hitter in the majors.
I always hear reinsdorf talking about how he'd trade in all the bulls rings for a sox world championship and that he'd do anything to win a world championship for us as long as the organization doesnt lose money. Well, they made a nice profit last season, and the acquisition of these 2 guys will boost ticket sales and merchandise sales as well as future tv deals so much that they would be making more money than they probably ever had.
It's to bad what could be only if.........
