JoshPR Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 But all those rumor Mills, Especialy the ones from ESPN always will give every player to the Yanks. Gotta wait and See. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumor was that the Yanks were going to make the Soriano for Beltran offer. I can't imagine KC turning that down at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I think Soriano is really overrated. He can be had as he has no strike zone discipline. I think he benefits from having a great lineup around him and when/if he becomes the key player on a team, he will crumble, JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Gammons floated that one on sports center earlier in the week. No doubt KC wants to move Beltran. He's a year away from his walk year, Boras is his agent and he's getin outta town. Yankees need a center fielder badly. KC could use a second baseman to team with Berroa, too. I believe, however, that Soriano is arbitration eligible. Not sure KC would want to pay 4 or 5 million for second baseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Gammons floated that one on sports center earlier in the week. No doubt KC wants to move Beltran.

I believe, however, that Soriano is arbitration eligible. Not sure KC would want to pay 4 or 5 million for second baseman. The New York papers say this trade is a long shot at best. Beltran would have to agree to a contract extension first, something Boras would never agree to one year from free agency. Boras is looking for an 8 year $120 million contract.

SuperSteve Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 This trade rumor has been brought up so many times. One thing I would like to know, is who does ESPN consider good midlevel FA's. They had a thing in the insider with their 12 best midlevel FA's. I was wondering if anyone had that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkit Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Are we sure Crede is represented by Boras? That would be a bummer... I am not a partial owner of the White Sox. But if I were, I wouldn't even have talks with a Boras client. Don't get me wrong...From the player's point of view, he does what he is supposed to do--try and squeeze every penny out of the system. But his tactics make me itchy. He tries to hold owners hostage, he outright lies about offers "in hand," etc. And he's left a trail of first year drafted clients that had to sit out of playing Major League ball and consequently lost lots of income that will never be recouped, plus lost a year toward free agency, when their "big paycheck" supposedly will kick in. Does anyone think the ARod contract was good for Texas or good for baseball? Ok, no one made that ignoramous in Texas offer that crazy contract [talk about greed...the contract talks almost fell apart when ARod didn't like the description of the office to be provided for his "people!"]. But the Sox were used and abused by Boras. I just wouldn't deal with him again. Period. If Joe's agent is Boras, I hope he keeps a leash on his "representative." Crede's one of my favorite young players. Forkit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I may have started that rumor. I believe I have heard that before, but I am not positive. As far as I know, it has not been confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Maybe he'll fire Bor-ass and let Crede's crew negotiate his deal when it comes time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkit Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Our luck, Boras will want us to provide each of the Crede's Crew members with offices and staffs and salaries... Forkit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
