December 17, 200223 yr Anyone have any ideas who this wild-card team is? Anyone hear any rumors about it? I would like for it to be the Sox, but Im not getting my hopes up. "There are other conversations," said Minaya. "I did say yesterday there was a wild-card team out there. I did have a conversation with that wild-card team. I did make a proposal to that team. That team -- put it this way, we're pretty much one player away with this team. I'm not going to say who I'm closer with. "They brought up a proposal today that I said, 'OK, we just have to hit on the next guy.' If we hit on the next guy ... I'm not going to say who that team is." Link to full article Interesting. It seems like the Yankees might be backing out and Theo Epstein feels that the Red Sox and Expos are not close to a deal(link for Red Sox/Expos story) , so this mystery team may just be the one to make a deal with Montreal.
December 17, 200223 yr well, in an interview with CLTV, KW did slip and say they talked to the Expos and then proceeded to say how he shouldn't of said anything and ended up leaving, at least from what I heard. Plus, he's been bugging the Expos for a couple months now and has been dealing with Minyana via phone as opposed to in person. that is if you were to think the sox were that mystery team.
December 17, 200223 yr Could very well be the White Sox. It's no mystery that KW has been hounding Minaya for some time now.
December 18, 200223 yr Originally posted by ChisoxfnI think their is truth that the Sox are the mystery team. No. A mystery team is a team that nobody thought would be in the race. A team that has never even been mentioned. Williams and Minaya have both said they talked to each other, so how can the Sox be a mystery team?
December 18, 200223 yr yeah what he said...........how can we be a mystery if everyone knows we talked??? watch it be someone like the tribe ....lmao
December 18, 200223 yr Not the Tribe...I'm thinking it will probably be like the Royals or Tigers....and then they win the f***ing AL Central... Anyone but the Twins or Indians, and I'm happy!
