Especially, for a guy who seemed to enjoy his time in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Mark DeRosa supposedly close to signing with the Giants Braves and Troy Glaus have also agreed on a deal that they will announce after the New Years.

chw42 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) I think this sets up Holliday with a 5-6 year deal at $17-18 million per. Simply because, Holliday > Bay. Edited December 29, 2009 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Has there been ANYTHING on a possible destination for Vladimir Guerrero? I know the guy is old and has slowed a bit, but he still put up nearly an .800 OPS in an injury riddled season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply because, Holliday > Bay. Supposedly the Cardinals already offered Holliday something like 5/$80, right in the range you're talking about, and they're refusing to negotiate against themselves by bidding again.

Yeah, the Mets did the same and apparently Bay blinked first. Bay wanted 5 years, but the Mets refused to go more than 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleichowski has to be one of the crappiest agents you can get apparently. Why is he telling Pods to push for so much? It's not gonna work, and right now it seems as if the Giants are the only team left interested in him. Heck, they could sign Dye (haven't they liked him for some time, and he could provide a bat (well, maybe)) and have 1/2 of the 2005 Sox position players. Sign Crede for reclamation, lure Iguchi out of retirement, trade Bonser, Liriano, Nathan for AJ, and Sanchez for Konerko and they'll win it all.
