Yeah, for $150,000 and a PTBNL.

Ah hell. Too bad we didn't give him a try.

[element1151]

If the Mariners didn't want to waste a roster spot, why should we?

[BigPapiEnFuego]

because i think he would of done good here. Just like Cabrera. Maybe he just needed motivation, a good team to be on and lots of fans to cheer him. I don't know. Don't care anymore anyway.

Boone's way better off in Minnesota, and the Red Sox didn't need him.

 

He'll get a starting job on a contender. That's more than he would have got here. As much as you guys give him a hard time, Mark Bellhorn is the team's starting second baseman.

 

Plus, who in the hell wants to pay Boone his entire salary? Doesn't he make $8 mil this year? Yikes! Sure, the Twins will only pay half that, but that's still a pretty big chunk for a guy who's really struggling right now.

medium reward, high risk....not a deal the Sox would make

[soxie thefangirl]

Thank God he won't be coming here.

Well Bret Boone has done NOTHING with the Twins. This is why I was happy he didn't come here.
