January 16, 200422 yr Ridiculous if this is true. What a major screwing for Pudge. Not only will he make about the same money he could have made playing at home in Miami, but he'll playing for the Detriot Tigers, with 100 fans, and 100 losses. What comes around goes around
January 16, 200422 yr i doubt it signing with detroit for 10 mill is the equivalent of signing with us at one year 6 mill
January 16, 200422 yr Author It could be defered thus, close to 6 then. The point is he could have signed a MULTIYEAR deal with his home town team and now has to go to Detriot for a year if this is true.
January 16, 200422 yr Pudge cares more about Winning than Money. Money>Winning. The guys spends money like crazy and needs the extra 4 mil.
January 16, 200422 yr AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
January 16, 200422 yr well I kind of like the Tigers so I like the signing but this is even funnier from a Marlins fans standpoint
January 16, 200422 yr For ten a year, you can rent hall of famer pudge rodriguez. Look guys, he took a 4th place team that everyone (well maybe not you guys) thought sucked into a world series winner! Wow! Pudge might be greedy, but he's an adult and if he wants 10 million a year, so be it, he's a great player. However, people should not forget how much he truly helped you guys. He's kind of like Roger Clemens on the Yankees, but he didn't screw you guys over as bad and he played well. Wait, then he's not like Roger at all!
January 16, 200422 yr Yes!!!!!!!Finally when they put the tiger highlights on espn i don't gotta barf!!!!!!!tigers "can"be contenders!!!!!
January 16, 200422 yr I dont think he'll have much of a problem behind the plate, considering the fact that most of the pitches from the horrid tigers staff land mostly in the empty outfield stands rather than in the catchers glove. If this is true, goodluck Pudge, and I hope you learned a lesson.
January 16, 200422 yr If so, this is a GLORIOUS day!! Not only would this bum be on the sucky Tigers, but he'd be on a team in the sox division, so I could go to comiskey and boo him a few times this year. I like this news :thumbup
January 16, 200422 yr Fudge is the Man! Chicks in the Motor City dig the long ball baby. Oh crap Fudge can't hit HR's in pitchers Park. Numbers with the Tigers next year .272 13HR 79 RBI Book it!

Remind me when Clemens spoke bad about the Yankee organization after heading to Houston?
January 16, 200422 yr OT: Michael Kay: So Roger I am giving you an oppurtunity talk to the fans of New York Roger Clemens: I have nothing to say to them That's is I believe a direct quote from Kay's radio show. He snuffed Boston, Toronto, and now us. He has no class. Furthermore, he faked the whole farewell tour and stole Zito's spot off the all star team...oh yeah the worst part. He made 11 million a year on average with the Yanks and he had an era over 4 with us. WTF??? He rips us off and acts like the classless jerk he always was. That's why I never liked him.
January 16, 200422 yr Serves you right Pudge. This is what my math figures for Pudge are: Money>>>Winning a WS My math: Winning in my hometown team with a good amount of money>>>>>Copiuos amounts of money.
January 16, 200422 yr Lots of rumors coming out of Detroit reporting similiar information, some have even mentioned player/agent sightings. If it's true, it will be a nice pickup for the Tigers to go along with the other players we signed this winter. When the season ended, I never thought there would be a possibility the Tigers could land him. I was sorry to see him turn his back on the Marlins after the season yo guys had... But it's a business. I do wish you guys had made up for him leaving by signing vladdy. Good luck next year guys!

I love how you Yanks fans love him one minute and hate them the next... Don't say Pudge because we had the best offer on the table and was the idiot...
January 16, 200422 yr This is great. Better than him signing with the Cubs because he has zero chance of cementing his status as a "winner" he know will forever be known as a man who sells out to the highest bidder...

"I love how you Yanks fans love him one minute and hate them the next..." Ahem, are you stupid? I'm a nortorious Clemens hater. It got me kicked off the once very pro-roger clemens nyyfans.com message board. if you don't beleive me you can look up my posts if you like, i assure you. What was the specific deal the marlin offered pudge? was it 10 a year again? was it less? was pudge stupid for not accpeting market value? Whatever, but that does not diminish his accomplishments for your team.
January 16, 200422 yr He has no class. And the Yankees do? David Wells said our team deserved to be contracted.
January 16, 200422 yr "uh i think i heard this on ESPN news that pudge rodriguez was close to signing with the tigers" yay for wqam's all-knowing talk hosts who know nothing other than football.
January 16, 200422 yr He has no class. And the Yankees do? David Wells said our team deserved to be contracted. Yeah and david wells said that he was "a scumbag", i bet he agrees with your assumption that he is classless. But he at least has respect for the fans he plays for (though maybe not other fans in this example.) Jeter, O'Neill, Ventura (now a dodger), maybe even karim garcia (just joking) are all classy guys. But hey, at least we don't have an accused rapist on our team!! oofah, that's gotta hurt.
January 16, 200422 yr OT: Michael Kay: So Roger I am giving you an oppurtunity talk to the fans of New York Roger Clemens: I have nothing to say to them Um, Pudge committed the sin of sins in Miami. He accused the team of a firesale. Nothing, I mean NOTHING, could have been worse than that.
