Choo turned down 7Ys/140M contract from the Yankees

[Angrioter]

You don't hire Scott Boras if you care about more than money. He's said to want an eighth year, this is probably that.

 

Boras demanded an amount of money similar to Ellsbury's deal.

[o2cui2i]

Well..not like it's that or nothing. I guessed he would get 6/120 somewhere and that's prob reasonable. So if I'm already making $100+m, I would care about where it it was or what my family thought

 

and people said that NYY were done with paying guys well past their best before date. lol money still grows on the stupid tree in NY

I don't recall ANYONE saying that

[raBBit]

I call ********. Ultimately he ends up in Detroit or Texas IMO. Probably Texas after they lose out on Tanaka to NYY/LAD/CHC.

[Stangstag]

I'm guessing he'll end up signing for less than that.

 

You are underestimating the stupidity of the mariners.

[Nox]

You make a valid point. Watch them give him Cano $ now.

 

It only takes one idiot. Words Boras lives by I'm sure.

[roday]

I think the price is too rich

[Laika]

This had to have been before they signed Ellsbury, right?

I dunno, extra $20M would help me make a decision a little easier.

Damn, sometimes I forget how much money these guys have. $100M+, your family is set for life for the next 50+ generations. That's insane.

"What do you do for a living that you have so much money?"

"Nothing."

"What?! Why not?"

"My great great great great great great great great grandpa played in the Majors."

[TheHurl]

Yankees can't sign a Free Agent...no one wants to play in a different country which has no chance to win.

[jaysblue]

I can't think Choo gets more than that offer. What was he thinking?

[jaysblue]

I would give Choo that in a heartbeat

 

20 million per season for 7 years? Not going to end well.

[jaysblue]

One of twenty players all-time in the 20-20-.420 club!

 

You think he'll do that again?

[KingKat]

I can't think Choo gets more than that offer. What was he thinking?

 

Maybe he has an offer from Seattle in his back pocket.

[jaysblue]

Possibly, I see them as the only other team willing to fork more for him.

[Howard Roark]

4/110 if we were still in derp-mode. No no-trade clauses whatsoever, natch. f*** you if you say no, didn't want you anyways we're about to rebuild bitch.

Inflation. Central Bank. Monetary Devaluation. Google these terms and spend at least an hour reading. It's depressing stuff though, fair ye be waned.

[Howard Roark]

In my experience the only people who constantly worry about these things are poor people

 

That's because you're poor and worry about your finances. Plus, you confuse curiosity with worry.

Heard NYY/Choo agreed at 7/140. Then Boras asked to make it $143, $1M over Carl Crawford. Angered NYY, agreed with Beltran instead.

Lmao! I hope Boras can't get anything over 5/80 now. I don't have anything against the players selecting Boras as the agent, but I'd sure love to see one of these ridiculous moves by him spectacularly backfire once in a while.

They seldom do though.

Nice... it's about time Boras got told to f*** off.
