Kalapse Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 11:56 AM) The $$'s are so idiotic I'm ashamed to even ask anyone if it's true.. LOL. He'd be giving up $30-$40M to stay in Chicago if it is $50M of course there could be more to the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have this weird feeling that someone said "4 at 15" (as in each year) over the phone, and it was misheard as "4 at 50" (as in total). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Think Buerhle would do a Tom Brady and out of respect for the organization take less money. Think he said, I'd take 4/$50 but you need to sign Garland..............or Rowand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Brady didn't take less money. He re-structured his deal to give the Pats more cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 27, 2007 -> 10:47 AM) 4/$50M....? Apparently it's "let's get high before we go on the air day" at the Score. If Mark signs this deal, he's stupid. I would suspect the union would beat his ass as well. That's what I keep thinking... Baseballs union is really strong, I would be surprised if they didn't burn $100 bills on his lawn if this happened.

Harry Chappas Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I posted this is in a thread last week. Here is 4 yr $50M (actually $49M) scenario I laid out. Didn't Contreras and Garland sign the same deals? Did Jose get 4 years? He signed after 2005, was this for 2006-2008? Was his an extension for 2007-2009? Was Garland's a pure three years for 2006-2008 becasue he was arbitration eligible? With Buerhle you have to remember that Konerko and Thome will be coming off the books or valued at a lower price after year three. This is where Rick Hahn is invloved something like this 2008 - $12M 2009 - $12M 2010 - $15M So far 3 yr $39M with other starters on the books also player can opt out of deal 2011 - $20M guaranteed if 500 innings reached in first three years - Team buy out $10M if 500 not reached - player opt out as well Guaranteed 4 yr $49M - Potentially $59M if healthy or Mark can walk 2012 - $20M guaranteed if 700 innings reached through four years - Team buy $10M is 700 not reached - player can opt out as well This deal guarantees Buerhle 4 yr $49M but allows him to leave or renegotiate after year three and lets the Sox out of the deal for $10M if he is done prior to the start of year 4.
