in the hunt for person or maybe that cuban that just defected>

I'm not sure about the Sox interest in Jose Contreras.

 

Has he officially became a free agent? I think he'd be an excellent pickup, but we'll likely have to compete with the Red Sox.

lets sign this guy, he will ease the lost of some of the pit we were trying to get.

I just read an article on MLB.com that Jose Contreras was granted the free agency. The Red Sox are the top runner to get Contreras.

Thats sweet. This would be a real good pickup for 5 mill or less.

 

The problem is he may get big bucks. As long as this guys in pitching shape, I hope KW goes after him.

 

He's put up amazing stats and is the top guy in Cuba.

I heard that he was finally given citizenship or something that will make him an eligible player in the Majors. In some country in Central America I think.Text

I wish someone would have posed that question to KW when he was on the Score.

anyone with contreras in their name scares the living s*** out of me... besides the yanks wont let him be on the free market too long before scooping him up.....

Contrary to your Contreras quandry, I'd still like to pick this guy up.

I emailed them questions, but they didn't take emails. That question was on my list.

He won't be talking to any teams till after Christmas or at least thats what he's saying.

 

He wants to spend Christmas with his friends and family. He established residence in Nicaragua to become a free agent and he doesn't plan to leave for the US till after XMAS.
