Sanchez extension talks fall through

47

"Both Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson have rejected the Pirates' contract offers, and as of Sunday, neither has come back to present a counter-offer. The absence of any sort of counter-offer, general manager Neal Huntington said, does not leave the organization optimistic that a deal will be reached with either player in the coming days." Sanchez's offer was a ridiculous lo-ball. Even in this economy, 2 years/10M is a joke for one of the top 2B's in the league, particularly one poised to reach an $8M vesting option. There were suggestions that these talks were just a PR move, but that offer is farcical. Being a Pirates fan must be worse than being a Warriors fan.
