toasty

so does that mean if it goes to the arbitrator that arod's salary will be determined by the arbitrator? or the arbitrator will simply decide if the contract ammendments are OK?

.... see mr orza rejected the deal (he is not the god of the players union) rotoworld.com blurb under Alex Rodriguez: rotoworld ... main article on yahoo sports article

I also saw a report that selig could approve the deal without the union's approval so it may still happen

if we trade maggs, we NEED A BAT, and in the AL, our pitchers dont bat!

can someone with espn insider access please look @ the rumor on the main mlb page of espn.com (just above gammons pic on the right center of the page) talking about nomar and ordonez, maybe w/o arod deal?

espn updates stated it would be nomar, williamson and top pitching prospect for maggs, and 2 young pitchers...

MLB.COM report

.... wonder if texas might want valentin if they give up arod ... send valentin and konerko to texas(they need 1b), send ordonez and munoz to boston, get nomar and damon

im still crossing my fingers about ponson

anybody know what damon's contract status is?

if you recall, the sox did recieve el duque from ny then immediately sent him to montreal in the colon deal

hehe... maybe somebody should send that post to brian cashman...lol push the issue

lets see... send valentin to seattle for guillen, send ordonez and prospects to boston for williamson, nomar, and damon, send damon and konerko to LA for perez/mota ?

dunno.... i think one guilllen on the team is enough, tho $$ saving would be nice

the sox can not sign him till may, but no rule about aquring via trade... you see a fair amount of sign and trade deals now and then

saw this on wsi, cant decide what to think

anybody heard anything about whether j nelson will be back in ny in '04 or is available?

look @ the main page of mlb.com.... mike cameron looks like YODA!!!!!

where is this post that says we offered eddie a contract???

soriano is crap.... leave him be in ny or somewhere else.... if youre gonna give up maggs, get s player that is at least more decent, pitching even

Do you guys think the sox do not remember not being able to sign weaver out of the draft? boras is his agent and we could not sign him, so he ended up in detroit... we dont need his crap

I am pretty sure that NY has an option to pick up wells contract for 04, doubtful

If Texas stumbles this year, I expect a-rod to be available, plus i think he likes JR too

Weaver--ick ...... Boras agent, if you recall, the sox drafted weaver but couldnt sign him, that is how he ended up in detroit.... he's not been solid at all in new york, but perhaps that is only a new york thing, too much spotlight...

I think Franklin might be a value pickup, if infact he is a fa
