December 17, 200421 yr With all the money that we will have to spend next year because of Thomas and Konerko becoming free agents... Im hoping that the Sox will sign Tim Hudson and Eric Gagne
December 17, 200421 yr I hope no one else even replies to this! I can't even believe I'm dignifying you with a response.
December 17, 200421 yr With all the money that we will have to spend next year because of Thomas and Konerko becoming free agents... Im hoping that the Sox will sign Tim Hudson and Eric Gagne Sorry to rain on your parade. Watch for Sosa for Jones and then Hudson signed using the Jones money long term.
December 17, 200421 yr If he gets traded doesn't his option become guaranteed or is that what the union let him restructure?
December 17, 200421 yr If he gets traded doesn't his option become guaranteed or is that what the union let him restructure? His option does become guarenteed if he is traded. He could negotiate something, but as dictated by the ARod fiasco, the PA won't allow money to be taken off of the table.
December 17, 200421 yr True ... but Hampton for Sosa saves the Braves about $10 million. Hamton is owed, I think, $43M over 3 years and Sosa $33M or so over two.
December 17, 200421 yr True ... but Hampton for Sosa saves the Braves about $10 million. Hamton is owed, I think, $43M over 3 years and Sosa $33M or so over two. Why in the world would the Cubs do that trade? Unless they think that Glendon Rusch isn't a good enough 5th starter at 2 yrs/4 mil for the #s he put up last year.
December 17, 200421 yr True ... but Hampton for Sosa saves the Braves about $10 million. Hamton is owed, I think, $43M over 3 years and Sosa $33M or so over two. Cubs want room for this year. I doubt they are interested in Hampton.
December 17, 200421 yr His option does become guarenteed if he is traded. He could negotiate something, but as dictated by the ARod fiasco, the PA won't allow money to be taken off of the table. In the Sosa deal the money is not guaranteed and can therefore by reworked I believe in the ARod deal they want to forfeit real/owed money. If the cubs do not pick up the option, sosa does nto get hsi money. How much of the Hampton money are the Braves on the hook for? I think the Marlins and Rockies are covering a good chunck of it.

December 17, 200421 yr If the Cubs deal Sosa anytime in the near future it will be to Baltimore for Julio and Hairston. But I think this enough of Cubs talk, especially Sosa talk, last time I checked this was a Sox board. I would be happy if I never heard another thing about the Cubs again (except of course that they failed to live up to expectations again and the Curse lives on)
December 17, 200421 yr Why in the world would the Cubs do that trade? Unless they think that Glendon Rusch isn't a good enough 5th starter at 2 yrs/4 mil for the #s he put up last year. Just to rid them selves of Sosa, has anyone heard that this is even true?

But IF Sosa is trade the money IS guarenteed. That's how the PA would look at it.
December 17, 200421 yr Actually, I was looking at it from a Braves perspective. I don't think the Cubs would bite now that it's been brought to my attention. As for Hampton's contract, it's all on the Bravos now. The free ride is over.
