qwerty Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 04:27 AM) Mets look to be making an insane push for Delgado... Carlos Delgado - 1B - FLA - Nov. 23 - 2:57 am et According to the New York Post, the Mets are ready to give up Yusmeiro Petit and take on Carlos Delgado's entire $48 million salary to bring the first baseman to New York. The Mets were barely willing to pay him that much over four years when he was a free agent a year ago -- their first offer was for about $33 million over three years. Now they're supposedly willing to pay him $16 million per year -- it will actually be more if they have to make up the difference in the state taxes between Florida, which has none, and New York -- and give up one of the top-10 pitching prospects in baseball. It's foolish, but it'd certainly give them a lineup to be reckoned with. Nov. 23 - 2:57 am et Source: New York Post If this is the case the deal will be announced tomorrow. I don't buy it at all.

SSH2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Well the yankees are big time players in this. In the past his no trade clause included both the white sox and yankees if i recall correctly. I am guessing if he is willing to go to the yankees (always has been reported he wants no part of the east coast) that he wouldn't mind coming to a team that just won a world series the year before. I am sorely disappointed that the white sox are looking in any other direction than giles. He can do more for us than than any of the other options and for less ( money and talent wise). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is Thome good enough for you? Thome is only 4 months older than Giles and he's also a great OBP guy. Giles' career stats: .299 .413 .542 .955 Thome's career stats: .281 .408 .562 .970 Thome won't hit for as high of an average as Giles but he definately has more power.

If action on the Konerko front is as slow as the lack of news suggests, he might stay put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Cardinals really stupid enough to pay Jacque Jones almost $7 million a year? I'd rather spend the extra $10 million for Brian Giles. This makes Jermaine Dye's contract ($4 mill in 2005, $5 mill in 2006, $6 mill team option for 2007) look awesome.

I'd rather spend the extra $10 million for Brian Giles. This makes Jermaine Dye's contract ($4 mill in 2005, $5 mill in 2006, $6 mill team option for 2007) look awesome. That's one of the amazing things about a year like this one...aside from Giles, who else is out there who can play the outfield and produce at all? Once you get past Giles, there's not that much out there (which may be why, btw, the Phillies decided they could use a good defensive CF in a trade). Yes it makes Dye's contract look awesome...but think about the other deals we've seen this year...Matsui's deal, BJ Ryan's deal, the 2 relievers the Cubs signed - all of them cost more than they were worth. This year, attendence was up again, teams have money to spend, but there's not many players out there at the mid-cost level that teams can buy. So you end up with teams overspending on those mid-level guys, who last year were far more abundant. Let's just hope it doesn't translate to the top FA on the market as well.

I have a feeling that it's definitely going to. The best thing going for the White Sox right now is the whole Manny saga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Just got some updates via Roto ya'll: Blue Jays signed LHP B.J. Ryan, who had been with the Orioles, to a five-year, $47 million contract. Mariano Rivera's annual salary is higher, but this is the largest sum ever committed to a reliever. According to The Globe and Mail, Ryan gets a $10 million signing bonus spread over two years ($6 million in 2006, $4 million in 2007). He'll receive annual salaries of $2 million next year, $5 million in 2007 and $10 million each of the following three years. Nov. 28 - 2:16 pm et he A's are close to signing free agent Esteban Loaiza to a three-year contract for slightly more than $21 million, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports. Perhaps increasing the chances of a Barry Zito deal. Loaiza would join a rotation that includes Zito, Rich Harden, Danny Haren and Joe Blanton, leaving no room for Kirk Saarloos or Joe Kennedy. One of the two lefties almost certainly would go. Loaiza's mediocre numbers outside of RFK Stadium last season give us pause, but compared to what some of the other free-agent starters could get, $7 million per year might not be so bad. At least he's a good bet to stay healthy. Nov. 28 - 1:19 pm et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Wow. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense from my perspective. Loaiza seems to represent the polar-opposite direction the A's franchise seems to be heading--older, best years far behind him, commands a pretty resonable contract on the open market. /scratching head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
