Flash Tizzle Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Sweeney has to be kicking himself in the ass over that clause in his contract. Who would of thought last year that the Royals would finish above .500. He sure as hell didnt, or would never admit it. To him it would of seemed like an easy way out of town. Maybe sweeney now believes Royals can be a contender in the following years, but I wouldnt say he is happy with the extension Although the Royals do keep Sweeney, what is the news on the futures of Beroa, Ibanez, Tucker, Lima, Beltran. I don't know the details of their contracts but I would guess maybe two would be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Sweeney's back disc problem will plague him throughout his career. When he's healthy, he's phenomenal. I just think he'll spend more time on the DL the longer his career goes. I'm not particularly upset by this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Thats not at all upsetting. I am not at all scared of the Royals. But then again, few people are scared of us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I think they won't do anything next season, especially if Beltran escapes. They can't keep all the guys. Beltran kept them in it for awhile, is he not an FA this year or next. He's bigger than Sweeney because of Sweeney's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Sweeney has given us fits in the past along with Beltran. I wouldn't think we would go after him as a free agent since we have a good outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boras is his agent and they are asking for a rediculous amount of money and years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
