4 years, 52 million.

interesting how they let pavano go when they could have signed him for 4 years 40 mill but they sign delgado for 4 years 52 mill.

This seems to be coming out of left field. I didnt even know the Marlins were in the running?

The news was yesterday that it would be either the Marlins or the Mets.

This means Mientkiewicz will be an Oriole or Met by Spring Training. I think the Orioles have more to offer to us... unless the Mets want to give up David Wright and/or Yusmeiro Petit.

[DOrtiz4prez]

Wright would be good for us.

[ahhchon]

where would we put him? on the bench?

 

billy is going to be 3rd, we allready have hanley and dustin that can play 2nd with renteria at ss. not to mention we still have bellhorn.

 

not sure what wright would do for us other than trade flexibility with him or other due to him becoming a sox.

I like this contract for both sides of the negotiations. Marlins desperately needed him, and he needed a big money long term deal. The deal has an option for a fifth year, which is worth 16 (if he hits incentives) or 12 (if the Marlins just pick it up).

[Yanksin2010]

Wright would be good for us.

Mets are retarded, but mientkieviwzasdasd for wright is just rediculous.

It was going to be the O's marlins or mets when texas dropped out. I'm hooked on ESPNEWS.

[ahhchon]

well if it was the O's, marlins, mets and texas and texas drops out one could only assume that it would be narrowed down to the O's marlins or mets.. lol

Delgado should have a good season with bats like Cabrera and Lowell behind a leadoff hitter like Pierre.
