Says Dbacks are close to signing Putz to two deal with option for 3rd, going to make him their closer. Do we match?

 

Here is the link http://taoofsteve.mlblogs.com/archives/201..._to_get_pu.html

Lot of money to match for someone with some health issues the last few years. I think we can be creative and find someone on par with Putz for cheaper.

Did I miss something because when I clicked on that article there was no mention of how much the deal would be worth, only that it's a two year deal with a club option for a third. I see nothing wrong with that.

No dollar amounts just yet, im checking twitter every couple minutes for an update. But its safe to assume closers get paid at least $5-$8M annually on the open market.

i dont know, but right now our pen is quite thin....Right now I have Thornton pencilled in as closer, sale and santos setting up, and pena as the long man....lots of quesiton marks....

How much money are we talking about?

I'd like to add Fuentes, Downs, Soriano, or Rauch. Heck, isn't Dotel a FA?

Cross Soriano off that list, please. If we're not paying Putz we sure as s*** not gonna pay Soriano.

have fun as a cellar dweller JJ...

Makes me think JJ is not particularly confident in his ability to stay healthy right now...

That and what draft pick do we get? Their second rounder?

Putz is type B, so we'd only get 1 sandwich pick.

Not great, but it replaces our first round pick down the ways a bit.

Hopefully it's a $5 foot long.

Putz has agreed to sign with the Diamondbacks. Per Rosenthal.

Well, I do like the draft pick.

I can't wait to see what they signed him for...considering how quickly he pulled the trigger, knowing full-well we wanted him back but wanted to get PK taken care of first...
