As for Nomar, being the key for the A-rod deal, I meant in a positive way for the Sox, it allowed us to move Nomar who is in the last yr of his contract, now if we do, we have no real SS to take his place.
I still want to see if the MLBPA ok's this, and if they do, how the defered money was different then the Sox deal they veto'd.
Of course this helps the Yanks, but I just don't think it's the best move for them.
That being said, I don't despise the Yanks, I love the rivalry and respect what they have done, Gherig, Mantle, etc... but I'll say this, and I wasn't around but I bet Hero or DU could verify this...
I didn't here you yankees fans talking smack in 1918!  |
Your right on the appendectomy, but didn't he break his hand also? I'm just saying he is coming off and injury-filled year and at his age it is not as easy to come back as it would for a young buck.
As for the MLBPA approving it, they have. As of right now, it is on Bud Selig's desk, waiting for him to approve or disapprove of it. I believe the biggest difference between this trade and the trade for Manny and A-Rod is: Soriano makes like 5-6 million a year so the Rangers are picking up 1/3 of A-Rods salary and with the deal for Manny the Rangers weren't going to pick up as much, if any of his salary, because Manny makes 20 million. With the trade with the Yanks, A-Rod won't have to restructure his contract significantly like he would of if he went to Boston.
As for 1918, my great grandfather used to talk smack all the time
