DBAHO Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Interestin, but this would put Seattle out of the market for Valentin. From the Seattle Post, According to a well-placed source, Seattle is close to signing shortstop Rich Aurilia, below, who hit .277 with 13 home runs and 58 RBIs for the San Francisco Giants last season, to a one-year, $4 million contract. The deal is contingent on the Mariners being able to trade Carlos Guillen, who recently agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. The Mariners would have to eliminate Guillen's salary to make Aurilia's $4 million fit within their 2004 budget. According to the source, Guillen could go to the Tigers, Brewers or Rockies, although the Rockies reportedly are close to signing Royce Clayton. The source said the Mariners would be willing to take prospects for Guillen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Isn't Bonds like one of the or the only player left on the SF world series team from '02 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I wouldn't mind talking Guillen off their hands but knowing our sox, we probably won't get him. Were stuck with valentin and harris. World Series here we come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 According to the Denver Post, ex-Rockie Jeff Cirillo is headed to San Diego next week in a deal that includes Pat Jarvis going to Seattle. That would free up money and 3B for Guillen to stay in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
