anyone else hear this?

ok i was watching Cold Pizza and someone made a reference about mets and 119 million dollar outfield so maybe thats what the reference was about

Just from you. Wow!

i wouldnt mind seeing him as a met, as long as the white sox dont have to face him then im happy

Damn...off to NY he goes. I feel bad for the Mets sometimes. They sign all these big names, and then their numbers just disappear. Alomar was solid until he got to NY...Mo Vaughn....Pedro's probably next....

Yeah, I saw this somewhere too, just can't remember where!! Basically though, New York Newsday is the only one reporting this and other papers are saying no offer has been made.

supposedly the Cubs will offer 5 years, 75 mil. max, even if they cannot unload Corky.

They're awful slow in getting an offer out there.

Hendry's probably FLYING UNDER THE RADAR.....

If that's what the Cubs are offering, it's not much of one... Astros and Mets will both blow that away with $$ and years

You're probably right, it will probably come down to $$. But, if I was Beltran, I'd have to ask myself which team becomes more of a WS contender once I sign with them.

Astros? I don't think so, still finish 2nd or 3rd behind St. Louis and Cubs and what happens to that team in 06 and beyond?

Mets? Still would be a few pieces away, maybe a fav. down the road.

Cubs? Yes, automatuically would become the NL favorite

Yanks? Yes automatically become the WS fav.

I can't see Beltran signing with the Cubs if he doesn't sign with the Astros. He's a classy guy, and by joining the Astros biggest divisional rival, he'd be turning his back on the team that he helped make such a great run in the playoffs.

Borass is his agent. Beltran is going to the highest bidder, no doubt.

I don't see it either, but not for the reason you just stated. Beltran was only with them a few months, it's not like he came up with the organization and had been there for years.

He has said he was comfortable with Astros and "all things being equal" he would stay with the Astros. So it seems Mets, Cubs or Tigers would have to offer more money...

Dude, its all about the MONEY.

 

Just look at Pedro.

Beltran may be a classy guy, but Scott Boras is not.

wow, nearly as dumb as when the Rangers signed Rodriguez.

 

if true, the Mets try really hard to top the dumbest of teams.

cubs cant even afford him

Put this in the Cubs offer Beltran thread as well, but ESPN.com put up an article saying Mets are finalizing offer, and it's going to be atleast 100m... but they don't have ivy on the wall...

How about A Rod in Texas? Fat cash on a losing team, he got tired of it quickly.

 

Dude, its all about the MONEY.

 

Just look at Pedro.
