Sox signed Giambi to help keep Frank?

We know how much Jerry values a superstar finishing in a Chicago jersey

 

 

I don't know about you but I'm pretty glad Jalen Rose won't be finishing his career in a Bulls jersey.

I would like to see both Paulie and Frank back again next season but...

Your first thought is wrong, frankly. (pun intended)

 

You don't think by the Sox helping out Tellum, that come Frank's contract time, Tellum might be a little more inclined to say "Hey big guy, why don't you take that offer from the Sox" even if it isn't the best one?  Tellum knows he can work with this organization, and something like that can help when you are trying to make a decesion between two offers.

 

I think we are misunderstanding each other here.

 

This is the part of your posts I was thinking about. The passage you wrote [by helping out Tellum, he'd be more inclined to say "why don't you take that offer". . . even if it *isn't the best one*.] Why would Tellum make this recommendation? Because Tellum works well with the Sox? It should be because Frank works well for the Sox. I am reading your comment to mean, since the Sox signed Giambi, at some point in Frank's decision making process, Tellum will be thinking "Hey the Sox helped mt out, now I'll help them out."

 

First off it would be a very poor career move for Tellum if he didn't have Frank's interest 100% at all times. Especially if the favor was to help out a steroid using minor leaguer.

 

Second part of the quote. Tellum isn't making the decision between two organizations, Frank is. I do not see Frank giving two hoots about another of Tellum's clients.
