October 4, 200322 yr Read in the LA Times today that they Royals are gonna take Beltran to arbitration. They said they can afford the 8-9 mill he's going to make but that they won't be opposed to trading him if it works and that they will be willing to take on the contracts of one or two players if they are good and will help them both in the short and long term. The talks are the Angels were interested and were gonna offer a Erstad/Beltran swap plus something else. Royals want Lackey/Krod and their top 3rd base prospect. Also his agent (Boras) has said that he will not accept anything less then an 8 year 15 mill a year contract. This is absolute BS. If anyone gives him that kind of money...then they should be kicked out of baseball. This is a guy that is good, but not amazing. He has the ability to do that, but don't pay based on ability pay based on production. Lets not forget this is a guy that has had some attitude problems too and 8 yr 15 mill per is quite a risk.
October 4, 200322 yr I really can't picture team giving him 15 million, let alone 8 years. That is insane. I don't think there is anyone out there who needs a CF that badly to pay that much.

Bernie Williams.........old, slow, no power,prone to injury. Bernie earns 12 Million, but with the subtraction of David Wells and Clemens the extra 3 million for Beltran should be easy to come up with.

October 4, 200322 yr I was just thinking, isn't Boras his agent and he got some ridiculaos contract a few years back?
October 4, 200322 yr How long left on Bernie's contract? He signed a 7 or 8 year deal with his contract, but I don't remember what year he signed it in...
October 4, 200322 yr I was just thinking, isn't Boras his agent and he got some ridiculaos contract a few years back? he got 88 Million I think. He was comming off a Batting Title. Almost went to Boston. Bora$$ is a DICK IMO.
October 4, 200322 yr he got 88 Million I think. He was comming off a Batting Title. Almost went to Boston. Bora$$ is a DICK IMO. Arizona was the team that almost had Bernie. Yankees way over paid for him. Same with Jeter.
