Rooftop Shots Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Sorry, haven't been around lately, so if there were some updates, I missed them. Anything new (that's just not here-say or rumor) about what's going on in the Maggs negotiations?? Haven't heard or seen anything as of late. Thanks!!!

aboz56 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Talk of a deal has died down considerably and I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that nothing is going to happen until the offseason unless the Sox brass decides to throw out a major offer to Magglio that he can't refuse. These negotiations should have never become public in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 If Sox brass really wants to impress the casual Sox fan, they should have made it a done deal right before the Yankees series. Hear me out. Though it might not have been the right move, tying up a lot of money to one player, it's the principal that the Sox are designating Mags, by giving him a big contract, the face of the Sox. It would also tell the casual fan that things are changing and that Sox management is here to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Speaking of contract negotiations. I came across this website that has salary and contract information for all major league players. http://www.bluemanc.demon.co.uk/baseball/mlb/mlbcona.htm There are alot of overpaid mo-fos in MLB. Abreu??? Give me a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These negotiations should have never become public in the first place. Unless I'm mistaken, Magglio is the only one who's gone public.

soxfan420 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 i think it really depends on how the sox do this season as far as attendance goes. i think if people come out to watch the sox win this year he will be signed and if people dont come out to watch the sox win this year he wont be. i wish i lived in chicago.
