February 6, 200521 yr JP will be arbitration eligible after 2005. He won't be a free agent until after 2006.
February 6, 200521 yr There is zero chance we would get santana. He could cost to much to trade for and if when he becomes a free agent we would easily get outbid. CY young winners arent free
February 6, 200521 yr Resigning Burnett should be the first priority.? I believe Pierre will also be a free agent. 678153[/snapback] We have him for two more years. 678185[/snapback] Yeah, I just read that on ESPN Insider. Torii Hunter will be available then too. I have a feeling that the Yankees will be interested. 678196[/snapback] Like always :banghead
February 6, 200521 yr If you subscibe to the notion that a half dozen (give or take) starting and relief pitchers may potentially be ready for the show in 2006 as I do, then you come away with the notion the Marlins will try to sign AJ first and if that fails, go with a youth movement next season. Even though Conine, Encarnacion, Hampton and Pudge come off the books in 2006 that savings will probably be used deal with re-signings and pay increases, and digesting Delgado's pay increase. All this of course is pure conjecture. But nonetheless it will be interesting to see what transpires. .
February 6, 200521 yr First off there is no rumor of the Twins trying to move(right now) and the Marlins to my knowledge haven't contacted the Twins...Now the Twins have offer Santana a 2/19mil contract for this CY winner. His agents wants 4/42mil. Now with Conine, and Encaracion off the books after next season a total of close to 7mil. So there will be some space b/c neither will be back at those salaries after next season. Would the Twins trade there best pitcher, if he doesn't sign by the begin of the season? maybe What could the Marlins offer? everybody anybody down on the farm expect Hermida Could the Marlins come close to that 4/42 mil? if the stadium gets done...maybe Bottomline is there going to need an Ace b/c Burnett will not be back after next season and Santana would perfect fit Opinions? 677992[/snapback] When all those contracts come off the boofs there replaced by Delgado getting 14 mil next year
February 6, 200521 yr haha There isa no way we would be able to sign this guy. If he has another solid year, then I can see him getting 60 mil + in free agency.
February 6, 200521 yr Santana won't be a free agent for another two years, and either the Twins will sign him to an extension or he'll go to one of the evil empires
