southsider2k5 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 If memory serves, Ordonez turned down a 3-year, $30 million extension. That is correct, also word is Maggs thinks he can get $15 mil in a long term deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 That is correct, also word is Maggs thinks he can get $15 mil in a long term deal. Other than the Yanks and Red Sox, who can really afford to give him this? I would imagine the Angels might try, but could they really afford to do so?

israel4ever Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Please read what I wrote under the topic "The "R-Word"", re. Magglio. JR can, but won't pay the salaries of the players that you need to be perennial pennant contenders, that's the sad but true fact. (He says "fiscal responsibility", I say BULLs***!) Therefore, we almost have to trade Magglio, if we can get value for him! We cannot afford to keep him for $14 mil, then lose him to free agency and get nothing for him! I like the deal that was in the Suntimes (with the Dodgers) for Guillermo Mota, ( a badass in the bullpen), Odalis Perez, (#4 starter) and some stud prospects. I hate to beat a dead horse, but, HEY JERRY, PLEASE SELL THE F***ING TEAM ALREADY!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 If memory serves, Ordonez turned down a 3-year, $30 million extension. "Sources said..." I don't recall seeing a direct quote from Maggs. If there is one.. can someone help me out with the link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wong & Owens Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 "Sources said..." I don't recall seeing a direct quote from Maggs. If there is one.. can someone help me out with the link? No, it was definitely a "sources say" article. However, I certainly think it's probable that Maggs would turn down that deal in hopes of getting more by putting himself on the market. Now, whether this deal was actually ever offered is a different story altogether......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Mark my words, Koch will be much improved this year. It would be hard to be much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
