Well, at least they got decent ratings for this morning. Some things never change.

 

I still havent forgave them for the "Griffey trade" bs

if you're talking about the April Fools joke, yeah, that was ridiculous. Their credability would be zero if this doesn't happen

uh-oh, can't hear it at work, how are they packpedaling? Are they just saying "sources" or the sides are only talking?

The score may be backpedaling, but like I pointed out, the Sun-Times has gotten into the game and is calling it "Near" as well.

Near and "Done" are miles apart

Nothing on the Trib site yet.

suprised Levine and AM 1000 aren't weighing in on this. I assume he's checking his sources before he either totally squashes it or at least weighs in with his opinion

Well, this says that sorces are telling FoxSports he could sign.

 

 

Unless his hand is broken, he can sign. Thank you Fox Sports for that breaking news. :rolleyes.

Does Contrearas have no-trade protection?

True, but "off the trading block" is a quite specific statement and they're def. giving us that.

I really don't like the way Mulligan and Hanley are talking right now. They continue to repeat themselves saying it's not quite a done deal and that "sources" (ick) are telling them it's close/done. I could see KW dealing him away in the next few hours and totally killing this buzz the Score has sent through the fanbase.

 

I don't believe a source exists. I think they want their listeners to believe they are on top of the story, but who is breaking this ? Jesse Rogers ? Please.

4/$50M....? Apparently it's "let's get high before we go on the air day" at the Score. If Mark signs this deal, he's stupid. I would suspect the union would beat his ass as well.

That's exactly why I keep saying this is bulls***. I guess we'll see.

lol, well Steff, I'd get ready for a lot of quality lines like this in the next hour or so since outlets don't want to be out-scooped but also leave them wiggle room if this is all B.S.

The comments below this article would suggest our recently banned member "Omar Manaya" is posting as FoxSports.

Does Contrearas have no-trade protection?

i'm sure this will be answered by the time it's posted, but I think it goes through the '07 season only

If this happens. wow. I mean what a sweat deal.

 

If the sox are still planning on trading him. The asking price for him just went through the roof.

This is certainly good news, but if the actual numbers are 4yrs/$50m I'll eat my hat. This simply can not be. It's a very optimistic scenario from a radio station that's filled with premature reports, just last week reporting that Scott Linebrink was involved in that Barrett trade.

 

I'd expect $6-8M would have to be tacked on to this to even make it realistic.

i imagine if this deal is true, then MB and his agents put in either a strict no-trade clause or a ridiculously limited one, ie the Cardinals

A firend of mine said he heard it was 5 yrs/$85 mil.

True, but "off the trading block" is a quite specific statement and they're def. giving us that.

Both fathom and Crasnick from ESPN have heard that Buehrle is not off the market. So I think right now, nothing has changed. The media stories could still just be a move to drive up Buehrle's trade value.

I guess that would make more sense

I highly doubt that those numbers are accurate.

ESPN has something on their Insider page, but I can't get to it.

Can anyone get to it?

The $$'s are so idiotic I'm ashamed to even ask anyone if it's true.. LOL.

Is your friend Kenny Williams?

Can anyone get to it?

it's probably the report that other GMs have told their scouts to keep scouting the Sox and ignore the extension talk. A couple pages ago someone posted that, I think it was ESPN reporters
