"Typical of ARod to have to have the spot light on him. Only he would announce his plans as the Red Sox (my team) is on the verge of beating the Rockies in game 4. Couldn't think of anyone would want a self centered idiot, unless it's a team that needs another big name in the lineup (like the Giants) who need to sell tickets. And Red Sox fans are praying the owners of the Red Sox don't open up their wallets to him, becasue we don't need him to screw up our team." - Whiny Sox Fan

Re: "A Deal of Giant Proportions"

Nah, I was just joking around. I don't have a very high tolerance for talk of Zito trades or A-rod signings, so when they come up I either ignore them, joke, or have a hissy fit.

This time it was a joke.

Re: "A Deal of Giant Proportions"

If Sabean can trade Zito without kicking in cash, he deserves a spot in Cooperstown.

even if he does pay for some of it i'd still accept a position in "I'm sorry I called your children devilspawn"-town

Saving a spot for Sabean in Cooperstown

There's still rentable space, next to the asterisk, on Barry's home run ball.

It's pretty wild that some people get paid for this kind of shit.

Re: "A Deal of Giant Proportions"

There's about as much chance of the Giants trading Barry Bonds as trading Barry Zito.

Only 972 games until the end of Zito's contract.

They share the same agent

Sabean should alert Boras that if he wants SF to sign PayRod to huge deal he then must have the Albatross waive his NTC to accomplish this deal.

Re: "A Deal of Giant Proportions"

The Yankees are angry at ARod for opting out, and the last thing they want to do is help some other team sign him. They're not taking Zito off of the Giants' hands. If you COULD trade him, I would look to the Mets. Tom Glavine has left, and both El Duque and Pedro Martinez are not going to make it through next year without injuries. They could use Zito, and the Giants should consider eating dollars to get it done.

Re: "A Deal of Giant Proportions"

from a SF Giants fan perspective: "Does it really matter what team Barry Zito is traded to?"

Re: "A Deal of Giant Proportions"

Heh. Can you imagine Zito having the kind of year he had this year in New York? Christ, he would have been dead by June! Or at Bellevue...

Zito is not going to be traded. Just think, if you were another GM, what incentive would you have to take on that contract, unless the Giants paid it? And they ain't gonna do that.

I didn't know Cain only got $700k. That poor kid must be so steamed, thinking that Ray Durham gets nearly ten times the salary. I can imagine he's already checking Porsche's catalog of upgrades and the real estate in various parts of the country, thinking of his next contract negotiation.
