Chisoxmatt Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Garcia is a great pitcher. He has proven it. Ill sacrifice the .3 difference in era to get a guy who is 31 games over .500 in his career. I can see where your coming from though... i didnt know his era was that good.

qwerty Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 The Cubs are talking to Robb Nen about a contract even though they don't expect him to be ready for the start of the season. The Rockies are also interested. Nen is in no hurry to pick a team after missing two years with shoulder problems.

3E8 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski reiterated yesterday that he has interest in free agent Magglio Ordonez. "There is some interest, no question about that," Ordonez said. "To what degree, I don't know that we're ready to fully get into that." If the Tigers end with Ordonez, they might just go ahead and release Bobby Higginson. Jan. 23 - 3:23 am et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sosa stays though, which looks more likely every day, will Maggs settle to play LF though? I've heard that could be a possible issue.

DBAHO Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Say sayonara to Texas's chances of winning the AL West in 2005; The Rangers have dropped out of the bidding for Carlos Delgado after he turned down their four-year, $48 million offer. Delgado reportedly became less interested in Texas after owner Tom Hicks suggested that he'd be used primarily as a DH. The free agent is supposed to decide between the Mets, Marlins and Orioles within the next day or two. It currently appears likely that he'll pick the Mets.

DBAHO Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 If Delgado wants to win and play in playoffs he'll go to Florida. If he cares more about his own numbers and money, he'll go to Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Can someone explain the whole thing with teams releasing players?? Does the team pay the player the rest of the contract, the rest of the year or what?? Need someone to explain the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Latest rumor out of the Denver Post: Sosa + 9M for Cliff Floyd. That reduces Sammy's price to 27M/2 yr or just under 14M/yr for the Mets. That reduces Floyd's price to 21M or just under 11M/yr for the Cubs. With the Mets out of the Delgado bidding this is likely going to happen. I suspect the Cubs will throw in 1-2M more in exchange for a PTBNL.

JUGGERNAUT Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 With respect to these mega deals it is true that they are guaranteed but typically at least 75% of the contract is insured at a cost of 20-25%. It's insane. The Orioles I believe are still paying for Albert Belle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
