Deal for Soriano or Dunn close?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

One could also say that Manny is having an early decline. His BA and OBP have been steadily dropping in the last few years.

 

Does anyone know how much longer his contract lasts?

 

Guaranteed through 2008 with team options in 2009 and 2010.

06 I beleive. (EDIT: I stand corrected)

 

And, after looking at things again, Dunn probably is a better choice than manny.

 

However, I'll take either of them with a smile on my face.

Any sort of buyout on those options?

the only way manny gets moved is if the redsox pay 5 mil off of ever year after this year of his contract

Not to my knowledge. Manny also gets a 1 million dollar bonus if traded. I don't know if this means he gets 1 million dollars once, or if 1 million is added to his salary every year, but I believe it is the former.

He can't ask to be traded can he since he is in the middle of a multi year contract? I'd hate to see the Cubs go right back into another Sosa situation.

I agree. Now that I look at it more. Its starting to scare me. I'd still probably take him. But not unless they pay alot of his contract. I want dunn even more than before.

I want Dunn and Suzuki. Move Burnitz and a ton of pitching and OF prospects too.

[wilk]

I noticed my title was changed to "or Dunn"...? Was there actually speculation that a deal for Dunn is even being discussed, let alone "close"? Quickly browsing through all the pages I missed I saw Dunn's name, but I didn't see where this all roots from?

[Roast]

 

I want Dunn and Suzuki. Move Burnitz and a ton of pitching and OF prospects too.

 

Suzuki as in Ichiro? Is that even the slightest bit possible?

Levine reported it on ESPN 1000 saying that the Cubs were talking to both Texas and Cincy about Soriano and Dunn.

I think that Seattle moving Ichiro is as unlikely a thing as you would see.

Thats what I thought.

 

I wouldnt be willing to give up what it would take to get him. Unless hendry pulls off some miracle worthy of regocnition and enshrinment in the holy roman catholic church.

It's the knid of move Hendry likes to make out of the blue. I agree he's a fixture there but IMO he would be a nice fit in the leadoff spot for the Cubs. Seattle needs pitching and the Cubs have plenty of it, unless as you say...or I think you're saying....the Mariners just want to keep Ichiro as the face of the organization and not improve the team.

Jimmy H is pretty sneaky that way!

 

I suppose it's more my wish list than anything.

The M's could trade Ibanez and/or Moyer for young pitching. Ichiro is the fixture in Seattle, who has a lot of Japanese ties. We'd have to pay an exorbitant price for the Mariners to even consider it.

Very true. But, Thats still getting close to impossible in my opinion. I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see it happen though. But it seems like a pipe dream to me.

Crushing my dream of Dunn in LF and Ichiro in Right are ya? =P~

 

I just have a feeling if Hendry makes a deal it'll be one we haven't thought of yet or mentioned lately.

Ichiro just got a 4/44 extension. I'd be absolutely shocked if he didn't get a No Trade Clause as well.

Dunn is putting on a show tonight in the best pitcher's park in baseball.

If he did get that clause, I might classify him as the least likely player in MLB to be successfully traded.
