joeynach Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Source USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/20...s-vazquez_x.htm The sox are going to get 1/3 of Vazquez Salary picked up. He is due $24 mil over the next two seasons at 11.5 Mil in 06 and 12.5 Mil in 07. The Dbacks are sending $8 Mil to the sox or $4 Mil per year to pay his contract. So in bare net form the sox are going to pay $7.5 Mil in 06 and $8.5 Mil on 07. There is more. El Duque was owed at least $4.5 Mil in 06 and Viscaino about $1.5 Mil. After adding the $7.5 mil and subtracting the sum of El Duque and Viscaino of $6 Mil it turns out the Sox are only adding $1.5 Mil to the payroll this year for Vazquez. AMAZING!! Next year Garland and Contreras come off the books so in case on of them does not sign cough Garland cough Vazquez is still a steal at $8.5 Mil on the books for 07. Given the ridiculous price for pithcing in the current market with guys like Burnett getting $11 Mil, Milwood getting $11 Mil, Jaret Wright getting $7 Mil, Kenny Rogers getting $8 Mil we should be extatic we are paying Vazquez less than market value at $7.5 and $8.5 Mil. WAY TO GO KENNY!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSH2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Ken Rosenthal says we will receive $5 million from Arizona in the deal: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5163266 The White Sox have acquired veteran right-hander Javier Vazquez in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, FOXSports.com has confirmed. The Diamondbacks will receive veteran right-hander Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, relief pitcher Luis Vizcaino, and minor league outfielder Chris Young. The 29-year-old Vazquez, will earn $11.5 million in 2006 and $12.5 million in '07, but the Diamondbacks received money when they acquired him from the Yankees. The White Sox will receive $5 million in the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I really like this trade. When I first saw the headline I thought it was going to be either Jose or Jon leaving, not Orlando. Good job Kenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF Rosenthal is right then $2.5 mil per year is OK, the USAToday report would be better getting $4 mil per year. If Rosenthal is right then the Sox are gonna pay a net of $3 Mil for Vazquez in 06. In 07 they will pay $10 Mil , which is rather steep, but Contreras and Garland do come off the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 If it's Rosenthal's $5M over 2, then I'm on board with this being a pretty darn good trade. It's it's the $8M, then I'm ecstatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) Ken Rosenthal says we will receive $5 million from Arizona in the deal: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5163266 Well, unless you edited the text, they have changed it to: The White Sox will receive about $5 million in the deal. I know that is semantics, but your quote just says "The White Sox will receive $5 million in the deal." not "The White Sox will receive about $5 million in the deal." However, I would believe Rosenthal before I believe some anonymous source from USA Today. The USA Today link also says that Vazquez will only make $23 million over the next two years, which is wrong.
