I haven't talked to him since the 9th when he told me that he was likely going back to Baltimore - which was reported all over the place this weekend in Baltimore. He's in Baltimore right now. I left a message and I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Hey, Akron Ohio man, that's where the rubber hits the road :lol:

 

Akron nickname: Blimp City ... the Goodyear Blimp, get it?

 

They have, or had, a really nice brewpub in Akron called Blimp City Brewing Co.

 

Now, back to your regularly scheduled rumor mongering. :lol:

subtracting Maggs salary put it at $56 MIL --- HMMMMMM... do I see a move coming in the future.

Something is going to happen... I just don't see it being this. Baltimore (reportedly) offered him more than this. They just improved themselves a lot with Tejada signed, I-Rod and Vlad both getting offers. They seem to be legit on contending. Although, they do have to set a limit at some point. They have a huge advantage in that Sid already has roots there. As of the 9th he was happy with what looked like was going to happen.. doesn't mean something didn't change. Personally.. as much as I'd love to have him here - it would save me a TON of $$ on tickets :lol: , I don't want to see him treated like s***. I have all the faith in the world that the Sox would do just that..

good i hope he does have an offer on the table more than he's gotten from here. Even though you'd like to see him here. I'm on the record for a long ways back as being against signing this guy.... Ponson = Garland, and no one's going to offer jonny boy $6MIL a year....

I just want to go on record here as saying that I think Maggs is staying put. And that the payroll will be more than $58 million.

 

Although.. I sat in the 30 degree weather at the Bears game yesterday.. so I am suffering from stupidity at this time.

Folks,

 

If I am the GM I secure the needs of the team first. That said if he thinks he needs pitching then great go get him. Then trade away a larger salary if needed later, i.e Koch and so on. I also beleive our payroll might be larger than reported. I never saw KW say our payroll is 58 million. I only saw reports to that effect. With that in mind the sox could look like geniouses saying they are willin gto add payroll. Also, I do think if we sign ponson we will indeed trade somebody. With that said, I would also assume it would be for players with very low payroll or High end minor leaguers. My opinion only.

i think the payroll will be more than $58 MIL too...Somewhere in the $64MIL range... and I think the only one whos been rumored to be on the block who's going to be changing teams is Koch.

 

And it was a good game and a victory yesterday, that's not stupidity. I've been to Lambeau in much colder to watch the bears get thier butts kicked. Now that's stupidity.
