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   |
See, I'm hearing he still is moving stuff over 5yrs differed, and taking less inrest, which MLBPA doesn't allow.. oh well, as I said... I think it wont help the Yanks as much as they think... Dealing Soriano for a pitcher would have been better.
and yeah, I think schillings hand was trying to bear hand a ball, otherwise he's always been rather healthy... he's built like Clemens, not like Pedro. Stocky, not Stickly.
