GoSox05 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Last of the big free agent pitchers. Hopefully the teams that missed out on him want to trade big for John Danks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 10:07 AM) 5 year, $75 million Well, actually that isn't that bad. $15 million dollars seems to be the going rate for a decent starter nowadays (as stupid as that is), but the 5 years might be what hurts.

Yeah, I expected worse. It sounds like he took less money than Florida was offering because he is from LA. He possibly could have had $100 million.

Reddy Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 ScottMCBSSports: Marlins offered Wilson $98-$99 million over 6 years. "If it was about the money, I'd be a Florida Marlin," Wilson said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If it was about the money, I'd be a Florida Marlin," Wilson said Hmm. Good thing another team close to his home offered him a deal even if it was less money.

Makes the Mark B contract look bad... The Angels got Wilson for 500k more a year than Mark.. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the offers on the table for both guys, it just worked out differently than I imagined back in October. I thought Wilson was easily gone to the highest bidder and Mark would still end up close or at least signed to a smaller deal, not to such a large one in Florida.

I'm a little surprised (disappointed actually) at the Buehrle hate around here when he didn't even turn down a non-existent Cards or Sox offer.

It's hardly hate. Not to get back into this, but it's the Buehrle defenders taking it as hate. It's merely a statement on how we view it as "hypocrisy".

The Sox didn't offer him anything because buehrle had an offer from the Marlins and said "match it and I'll stay." I don't blame either party. MB has the right to take the money and the Sox have the right to say for that many years and that much money it's not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
