Freddie Sanchez trade rumors

[A-Cal]

Eh, the point is, the talk of them possibly signing back on under the jolly roger didn't amount to anything. I don't think Freddy Sanchez will be a Cub by August 1st, but I doubt he'll be a Pirate.

 

Probably, but that vesting option is ugly. Nobody wants to take that on.

 

he has missed some time with back spasms this season, is he on pace to match his plate appearance requirement still?

Pretty easily. ESPN has him projected for about 660 PA's.

Apparently both Sanchez and Jack Wilson have rejected contract offers by the Pirates.

 

Those weren't offers, those were insults. Sanchez's $10 million for two years, when his certain to vest option for next year alone is $8 million.

 

I'd like to hear how the convo with Sanhez and his agent went.

 

"Guess what? The Pirates are offering you an extension"

 

"An extension with the Pirates? Not interested"

 

"But it's for TEN MILLION DOLLARS"

Sanchez to agent: "So let me get this straight, not only am I asked to take a pay cut, but Id also spend 2 more years on the pirates? Where do I sign up? Just kidding, your fired."
