Milkman delivers Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 OK, so apparently this isn't true. But, if there were some truth to it, why the hell would we even re-sign Buehrle anyway? We absolutely need to trade the vets for good prospects. That is, unless we planned on trading the rest of the rotation besides Danks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) Ok, last speculative comment right here. If Buehrle does come on and says he signed an extension then he went behind his agent's back to get a deal done on his own. Which is possible, seeing as JR has been known to reach out to clients individually, sans an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Levine is off his rocker, or the sox flagship is. unfortunately for us Sox fans, WSCR is the one that I would doubt. Not that Bruce is 100% right all the time, but he's on target a hell of a lot more. WSCR should start reporting on Batboy sightings if/when this is proved false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent works for him, if he tells the agent he wants to sign a contract for X, unless its an illegal contract the agent should work it out.

Or they are giving the super secret scoop to the Sox flagship, while leaving other station behind. Only person that loses credibility there is Buehrle's agent. And he doesn't really need to have credibility in the media. Only w/ other Gms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the beat goes on. yeah, im not sure what to think about it.... my honest guess is that the sox tried to trade mark for cream of the crop type prospects...buccholz, hughes, salty....couldnt get the deal they wanted, and decided that rather than dealing him for anything less are now trying to resign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) Ok, last speculative comment right here. If Buehrle does come on and says he signed an extension then he went behind his agent's back to get a deal done on his own. I think there are talks going on.... Remember back at the winter meetings there was a cryptic quote about one of the starters trying to keep the negotiations out of the media. Buehrle and Garcia both have one year left on their respective contracts, but Williams begged off a question Monday in regard to contract extensions being broached with either pitcher. It's an indirect approach Williams rarely takes, but he was honoring an agreement made with one of the two pitchers not to talk about the negotiations. I believe that is why every quote you've seen from Buehrle and his agent have indicated that there hasn't been any talk. They don't want to be the bad guy if/when a deal doesn't get done. Of course, you could always spin that the other way, and say that buehrle and his agent haven't talked to the Sox, and have no intention of talking to them, with the Sox leaking the mis-information to avoid looking like the bad guy. I'm inclined to believe the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
