It's not out of the question the 36-year-old Jorge Posada could command a three-year deal in the $39-44 million range considering the weak free-agent catching market. After all, he hit a career-high .338 with 20 homers and 90 RBIs while making $12 million this season. The Mets aren't expected to resign Paul Lo Duca and the Marlins, who have been stockpiling dollars, will likely be interested. -- NY Post

 

sign me up

I don't think Loria will be willing to spend that much money on him or anyone for that matter.

If were going to spend money on a catcher I would try and trade for Ramon Hernandez from Baltimore.

What would be fair value for the Marlins to give up for Ramon?

olivo in 08.

Wow Bonds, A-Rod and Posada in one offseason. Cancel the regular season and go straight to the play offs!

Since when are we stockpiling dollars? I just thought we were a bunch of cheap f***s.

lmao. We are 'stockpiling' dollars so that means we're going to sign an old catcher to a 3 year deal.

wouldnt want posada for 3 years hes just to old for a catcher

I agree.

Reading comprehension guys. We're allegedly interested in LoDuca, not Posada.

 

Pass.

Pass.

 

 

I believe they're still talking about the Marlins and Posada.

 

Lo Duca was mentioned because the Mets won't resign him, ergo, there's a spot for Posada.

 

Not that it really matters in the end though.

Misplaced modifier it may be, but this is clearly referencing the Marlins and LoDuca. Also, it's the NY Post which has a habit of regurgitation of baseball information and we have been linked with LoDuca once this post-season.

Not happening the Yanks are going to give him a 3 year 40 mil. contract...

Out any day now...

This board for some reason operates under the false assumption that Loria isn't a cheap bastard.

I LOVE the MARLINS but let's be honest we are not going to sign any big name or even mid level free agents it isnt going to happen . The only way i see a marginal increas ein payroll is if the stadium deal is announced even then i do not expect a big increae in payroll and i certainly wouldnt expect a 3 year 10+ million a year contract to a 36 year old catcher will not happen EVER
