I don't think so. But anyway my point is that there will not be 35 million dollars to play with. You have to add the pay raises of frank, konerko, lee, marte, etc.
Number one thing i like about sox talk is that you can be here for awhile and not even know who exactly is a mod or admin because they do not try to threaten to ban you if you voice your opinion. If i did not see that certain members have a colorful name i would have never know that they were a mod, which is a good thing
I honestly think it will be the giants who offer him a big contract. Then wither the mets or the cubs. But most likely like the majority of the time some team will pop out of no where and get him.
You are pipe dreaming still. Beltre is once more not worth 10 million dollars a year. Wait to some stupid team next year signs him for 10-12 million a year and he sucks ass again. Many players are great in their contracts years and implode the next.
