That's been rumored since game 3 of the World Series.
October 30, 200322 yr But all those rumor Mills, Especialy the ones from ESPN always will give every player to the Yanks. Gotta wait and See.
October 30, 200322 yr But all those rumor Mills, Especialy the ones from ESPN always will give every player to the Yanks. Gotta wait and See. The rumor was that the Yanks were going to make the Soriano for Beltran offer. I can't imagine KC turning that down at this point.
October 30, 200322 yr I think Soriano is really overrated. He can be had as he has no strike zone discipline. I think he benefits from having a great lineup around him and when/if he becomes the key player on a team, he will crumble, JMHO.
October 30, 200322 yr Gammons floated that one on sports center earlier in the week. No doubt KC wants to move Beltran. He's a year away from his walk year, Boras is his agent and he's getin outta town. Yankees need a center fielder badly. KC could use a second baseman to team with Berroa, too. I believe, however, that Soriano is arbitration eligible. Not sure KC would want to pay 4 or 5 million for second baseman.

I believe, however, that Soriano is arbitration eligible. Not sure KC would want to pay 4 or 5 million for second baseman. The New York papers say this trade is a long shot at best. Beltran would have to agree to a contract extension first, something Boras would never agree to one year from free agency. Boras is looking for an 8 year $120 million contract.
October 30, 200322 yr how many Sox players are represented by Boras? just wondering. somebody told me Crede is the only one., Does anybody have any insight?
October 30, 200322 yr how many Sox players are represented by Boras? just wondering. somebody told me Crede is the only one., Does anybody have any insight? As far as I know, Crede is the only Bor-ass represented player...
October 30, 200322 yr This trade rumor has been brought up so many times. One thing I would like to know, is who does ESPN consider good midlevel FA's. They had a thing in the insider with their 12 best midlevel FA's. I was wondering if anyone had that list.
October 30, 200322 yr Are we sure Crede is represented by Boras? That would be a bummer... I am not a partial owner of the White Sox. But if I were, I wouldn't even have talks with a Boras client. Don't get me wrong...From the player's point of view, he does what he is supposed to do--try and squeeze every penny out of the system. But his tactics make me itchy. He tries to hold owners hostage, he outright lies about offers "in hand," etc. And he's left a trail of first year drafted clients that had to sit out of playing Major League ball and consequently lost lots of income that will never be recouped, plus lost a year toward free agency, when their "big paycheck" supposedly will kick in. Does anyone think the ARod contract was good for Texas or good for baseball? Ok, no one made that ignoramous in Texas offer that crazy contract [talk about greed...the contract talks almost fell apart when ARod didn't like the description of the office to be provided for his "people!"]. But the Sox were used and abused by Boras. I just wouldn't deal with him again. Period. If Joe's agent is Boras, I hope he keeps a leash on his "representative." Crede's one of my favorite young players. Forkit!
October 30, 200322 yr I may have started that rumor. I believe I have heard that before, but I am not positive. As far as I know, it has not been confirmed.
October 30, 200322 yr Maybe he'll fire Bor-ass and let Crede's crew negotiate his deal when it comes time...
October 30, 200322 yr Our luck, Boras will want us to provide each of the Crede's Crew members with offices and staffs and salaries... Forkit!
October 30, 200322 yr ...But his tactics make me itchy.... Maybe ya have a rash or something. I think ya should get that checked out.
