qwerty Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Unless Reinsdorf is willing to open up his wallet and really spend big, I don't think the Sox can afford the 5-year $65 million contract that it will probably take to land Beltran. Take alot more than that to sign beltran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Take alot more than that to sign beltran. Think 8 years, $120 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 no, but the point is same we can't afford to spend 25 -- 30 percent of our total salary on one guy. Don't care if it is Bonds. That Bonds thing is a little too far. We could use 50% of our payroll on Bonds, and still win the division. Anybody else, literally, anybody else, I would agree with you...but Bonds is value to a team is beyond numbers. Without Bonds, the Giants are a last place team...period.

Hatchetman Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 guys who the sox were "seriously" interested in signing as free agents: a-rod mcgwire bonilla tartabull (when he was good) bob welch (when he won 27 games) joe carter (they couldn't even get buddy bell) i'm sure there were many more.

SkokieSox Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 guys who the sox were "seriously" interested in signing as free agents: a-rod mcgwire bonilla tartabull (when he was good) bob welch (when he won 27 games) joe carter (they couldn't even get buddy bell) i'm sure there were many more. For the Bonilla one anyhow, we signed Belle instead, so that one can be scratched out. However, every year and offseason are different. We should have much more money to spend this year, and a better idea of where we want this team to be IMO. Signing a Beltran is probably unlikely, but cetainly not impossible.

BlackBetsy Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Think 8 years, $120 million. Not sure who is going to offer/give him that. Maybe the Yankees. We'll see. He won't be worth $15 million per year. If Bernie Williams is available, I say the Sox pick him up on the cheap if they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about when bonilla was the FA prize in 1992. he went to the mets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Eh, I see it as a front, to show people they're serious about the big time guys. I don't think we should go that route though. I don't believe in $10 million contracts. Beltran reallys hasn't earned that money. What lets a team win a WS is by getting lucky on guys whom arn't expected to be stars (see Red Sox: Ortiz, Arroyo, Bellhorn, Mueller, Reese, Leskanic...Marlins: Cabrera, Pierre, Gonzalez...Angels: Eckstein, Kennedy, Rodriguez...to name a few off each team). If we have Uribe, Harris, Garland, Crede, Gload, Grilli, Diaz, Marte, or any combination of guys break out, we will be awesome. If they don't, then we will do as we have generally done, second place.
