Confirms what so many of us thought about negotiating with the Sox.
June 8, 200421 yr Maggs is good but I wouldn't pay him over $12 million a year, which is what Gurerro (sp?), Pujols and Bonds make and he is not in their league. The guy didn't even have 100 RBIs last year. I hate to see ya go Maggs but you are out of your mind.

June 8, 200421 yr Maggs is undeserving of the money he wants. Would you rather have a stud pitcher (Garcia/Morris) on top of a stud shortstop (Renteria/Nomar) or for a very similar price have Maggs. I'll take the former.

That doesn't confirm anything, except that rappaport is letting a New York newspaper tell him what is going on with negotions here in Chicago. Yeah, we all know JR likes to defer money, have out clauses, etc, which is why it is believable. So who are you going to believe, Mags, or a New York rag looking to sell newspapers?

Bonds makes about $20 mill Vlad makes $15 mill Pujols makes $14+(and that's just because he's in his 4th year in the league). $12 mill is fine for Maggs...better then the $15 he wanted earlier. That's right around Garret Anderson money, and that's just fine with me. At the very least, we could do worse
June 9, 200421 yr The bottom line is that no one really knows whats happening with these negotiations. It's all rumor and innuendo. I love a good trade rumor, but I can't stand these kind of baseball rumors.
