Heads22 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Buster Olney seemed to report the Sox gave in to that 5th year thing if traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 08:46 PM) Buehrle is quite the jokester! He did the same thing earlier this week when he cleaned out his locker! I'm sure we'll find out more soon, but I wouldn't rule out that this was planned all along, and everything in the press has been bogus over the last few days.

Kyyle23 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:46 PM) Not quite sure why I'm being singled-out here. I've wanted them to sign him, but after what we read yesterday, it didn't seem like he was in the plans. I'm thrilled for reasons on and off the field, and it immediately makes our future for the next 5 years better. Just teasin, its a great day today and for once its good to be wrong about something. And Im not only talking about you, i thought he was gone too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toasty Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) I'm slightly surprised. Way to go Sox, way to go Kenny. So the Sox won't suck ass for the next few years. heh... i wouldnt guarantee that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:47 PM) Ah, I see....even though I've been the one who's been telling people that the expected packages are unrealistic. no worries, im just teasing you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 So it's a $19M player option if he's traded? That's the only way to get to $75M from $56M. Not consistent with what we heard yesterday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 For all the misery that has been White Sox baseball this season, the last two days have been completely freaking awesome. We come back from getting woodshedded on Friday and put scoreboard on the Twins ass in back to back games coming off that ugly double header. We get two masterful starts from Buehrle and Javy...and then we resign our ace. This is why we love baseball...even amidst a miserable season, there is something to be ecstatic about. Kudos to Sox brass for getting this deal done and having Mark continuing on with his career in Chicago simply has me on cloud9...I was so scared he'd be dealt and worse of all, dealt for crap.

RME JICO Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Does he still have a no trade clause at all, or is it just the 5th year option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 this is a great way to finish the first half of the season, with a good win over a team that has our number(and whooped our butts in the first two games) and signing Mark for 4 more years. Im going to hold on to a little optimism about the second half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 03:41 PM) That's just awesome!!!! Now trade Contreras, Dye, etc., and keep Buehrle, Garland, Vazquez, and Danks together. Thank you JR and Kenny....and Mrs. Buehrle and soon-to-be-born baby Buehrle. You will not have the money. garland will go now. he will not be resigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 f***ing sweet... I don't know about you guys, but a core of Buehrle, Garland, Danks, and even Vazquez is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:44 PM) I doubt he'll be willing to sign a deal in the White Sox price Range. I can't see him taking a discount similar to the one Buehrle took and I can't see the Sox agreeing to a 5 year $70M+ deal like he'll be looking for. Otoh, his last extension was much lower than anyone thought it could be. I doubt it too, but it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
