Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Terms aren't disclosed, but he's now off the list. Its quickly looking like the Sox only option will be plan b or a blockbuster deal. Also, it looks as if the Braves are going to be getting Greg Maddux back as Scott Boras is hinting they will accept arbitration, which will keep him a Brave for at least one more season.

rt59_bnsf Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 dude - this has to mean they're trading someone Maddux, Byrd, Ortiz, Millwood, Hampton, Marquis hit the Atlanta rumor boards - they need a 1B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a 3rd baseman or outfielder. It all depends on where they decide to stick Chipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have to trade someone to sign Maddux. I don't think they can afford all those guys plus Maddux. I look for one of them to go. But it won't be to the Sox because our GM is an idiot. Now if we had a good GM like John Schuerholz who put is putting together that staff, then maybe, but we have a dumbass named Kenny Williams who would rather get a Todd Ritchie than a Russ Ortiz.

Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 Well, now that I think about it, wouldn't a three deam deal of made more sense? Giants get Moss and Braves Prospect, Braves get Konerko, Sox get Ortiz and Ainsworth. I do think KW will be talking to the Braves. ESPN says Maddux will likely get a ton of money in Arbitration and I can't doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 Ted Turner no longer owns the Braves, AOL does and they have constantly said they will cut payroll. They want it to stay around 80 million, no higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 Turner simply owns a lot of stock, but he doesn't have any say in what the Braves do anymore. I don't think he's pleased with it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
