kageman129 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Per ESPN.com Trade Central, Juan Gonzalez wants to attempt a comeback to try to hit 500 home runs. So what teams are looking for a guy to give them one at-bat this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I think his hammy would pop signing a contract... how much guaranteed $$ did he turn down from the Tigers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 02:51 PM) I think his hammy would pop signing a contract... how much guaranteed $$ did he turn down from the Tigers? $140 million over 8 years, which would just now be expiring after 2007. http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlib...nzalez_Juan.stm Gonzalez hit .326 in 1999 while topping 30 homers and 100 RBIs for the fourth consecutive year. But preoccupied with marital difficulties and his daughter's recurrent ear infections, which were bad enough to require surgery after the season, Gonzalez was exceptionally moody. In July, he made headlines when he refused to participate in the All-Star Game unless he was voted in as a starter. (He wasn't, and AL skipper Joe Torre dropped him from the team.) Two weeks later, he dropped out of the exhibition Hall of Fame Game, complaining his uniform pants were too big. After the season, the slugger was traded to Detroit as the centerpiece of a blockbuster nine-player deal, becoming the first two-time MVP to be traded since Dale Murphy was sent from Atlanta to Philadelphia in 1990. Gambling that they would be able to extend his contract past the 2000 season, the Tigers reportedly offered Gonzalez an eight-year, $140 million contract soon after the deal was struck.

Steve9347 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Isn't this Juan Gone's 3rd comeback? I loved his 1 at bat season a few years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 the 3 teams reportedly interested in him - Baltimore, Detroit, and Anaheim - have all denied interest. Sucks for Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks for Juan SI in their rumor section had a blurb saying Orioles are not interested despite the reports. I guess Anaheim should take a flyer. They still need offense. (Not that I think he will ever do anything, but if it's a minor league deal, no big loss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now he's at 434 homers, he's not going to get to 500 homers at 36 years old and injury plagued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
