I keep hearing talk from different people on this site about signing Roger Clemens to a 1-year deal here. I love the idea, but I am wondering if there is any merit to the talk. Is there any chance that he can/will be signed? If so, what are the chances? What is there that needs to go into getting Clemens to sign here?

The chances are slim and none. And Slim just left town.

None, zip, zero. zilch.

 

 

Three (NYY, BOS, HOU), and maybe one more (TEX) teams have a chance at Rocket, the rest of the league is out of luck

Thanks Yas, I just wanted to hear someone put it in black and white like that.

Glad to be of service, Vandy.

I highly doubt that KW, he of the trading be-here-now starter and one potential starter who was the #1 prospect while loading up on potential arms, would throw the salary money at Clemens to rent him for a year.

FWIW I've heard on espn radio that the Rangers won't push hard for him this time, they basically know it will only be one of the 3 teams you mentioned first

not gonna happen

KW would love to have him. JR would spend the cash. Still, not going to happen. Roger would go somewhere familiar even if the Sox were given the chance to be highest bidder.

It would allow those young potential arms to develop in the minors for another season, while at the same time the Sox would remain in contention for the division.

 

So I think it's a perfect scenario, but there's about a 0.50% chance of it actually happening.

The chances of signing Roger Clemens are virtually non existant. KW wants youth. If Clemens plays another year it will be with the Yankees. He should retire IMO.

No chance.

 

He wants to be in the limelight and be catered to.

Why would we want a guy who can only go into the fifth inning each start because he throws too many pitches and then takes himself out of the game?

Who are those people in the stands?

 

Tell them I hate them.

I wonder if a team will let Clemens skip spring training and come pitch in late

May or June.

What a primma donna.

No team should be desperate enough to take this ego maniac on his terms.

I'm sure there are no teams that would pass on adding a Roger Clemens in June if the money was right.

It would be like a deadline aqusition, without giving up the prospects. The problem is still that only 3-4 teams have Clemens ear. The rest of MLB he has zero interest in pitching for.

I agree. But I was referring to the ego-maniac remark. 30 teams would be interested if the price was right.
