Cerbaho-WG Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 From 25 million to 15 million. According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, the Rangers have backed down from their demands for $25 million from the Red Sox as part of the A-Rod deal. They're now asking for $15 million. This could clear the way the trade, as it's believed that the Red Sox and the MLBPA were about $12 million to $15 million apart on a deal with Rodriguez's contract. With the 5 p.m. ET deadline passing, the trade remains a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt52235 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 This is crazy! When will we find out?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted December 18, 2003 Author Share Posted December 18, 2003 I think we'll find out tonight whether the trade will happen. The MLBPA still might get f***ed over if Bud Selig OK's the trade, which would send the deal to an arbitrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selig can't get involved if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I think that the trade will get done, especially since the deadline came without the deal being terminated. I just think both teams have gone to far now, and going back no longer is an option. At this point $10 mil to fix a 6-7 year problem is nothing.

SB Exactly what I'm thinking, I'm almost positive it gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
