White Sox to offer Torii Hunter a $15m/year contract?

[inari]

Word is that Bruce Levine has been saying that the White Sox are prepared to offer the largest deal in team history to free agent center fielder Torii Hunter. The deal would be five years at $15m per year.

 

At least Hendry wouldn't go that far.

Oh sweet. Please please please please.

Heh...heh heh...hah...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

And just as they're trying to redeem themselves for Darin Erstad

Superb. They can sign David [Hustlehoff] Eckstein to play shortstop and call it an offseason.

They better get somebody on the South Side. They have just resigned the entire team that has been one of the worst in the AL for the past year and a half.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that would be one sweet deal for the Sox

[Have a seat, Neifi]

I was just thinking the Sox could use a few more overpriced veterans to flesh out their 72-90 squad.

Superb. They can sign David [Hustlehoff] Eckstein to play shortstop and call it an offseason.

 

Barring a trade, the Uribe signing ended the Eckstein Sox interest.

I just can't imagine him doing this, even though that's a LOT of money. This is like Damon going from the Red Sox to the Yankees, only much worse. Hunter's been the main face of the Twins for years. I can't imagine what folks in MN would say about this.

No? The Redsox/Yankees rivalry is on entirely another level than the whitesox/twins.

 

As for him being the face of the twins...Johan Santana? Joe Mauer?

 

I think this would be a whole lot more like former-brewer Jeromy Burnitz coming signing with the Cubs; not a big deal at all.

(If this goes through)....This contract could be nearly as ugly as the Soriano deal.
