You have to take in their current salary. Wright only makes 1.2 million.

The most surprising is Magglio. He made 13 million this season, so that is basically saying Magglio was worth 27 million.

Tigers Rumors: Rogers, Jones, Jenkins

Lynn Henning of the Detroit News has some Tigers tidbits today.

The Tigers want to bring Kenny Rogers back, who has said Detroit is the only place he'll play if he doesn't retire.

The team will finally go with Joel Zumaya in the closer role next year, but they'd like Todd Jones around as a backup. Jones' first pick is Atlanta but it's not known if they're interested. The mustachioed closer earned $5MM this year.

Henning indicates that the acquisition of Edgar Renteria will allow the Tigers to be content with a Marcus Thames/Timo Perez/Ryan Raburn combo in left field, instead of signing Geoff Jenkins. Maybe the Tigers don't want to appear too desperate for Jenkins, or maybe they're serious.

Reyes didn't have as good of a year in 07 as he did in 06. It's mostly filled with guys who had career years and who came out of nowhere.

The Mets need relievers. They could sign Jones. He fits perfectly since he's old.

I doubt he'll get 300 million. If he does I want no part in A-rod. Illitch has said he'll spend whatever it takes to win. He was the driving force to get Magglio. It wasn't Dombrowski. The Tigers currently aren't really locked into bad contracts. If Magglio stays producing like he is, that isn't a bad deal. I also forgot Kenny Rogers 8 million comes of the books, so that brings it down to 97 million, plus Pudge is getting a 3 million dollar raise so the Tigers payroll will sit at around 100 million.

he had a 4-5 yr extension offered to him that would have gave him close to 30 mil a season and they didn't negotiate at all....yanks lose part of what the rangers were paying so they dont want him...Boras isnt looking to just get the same pay day or a short contract. if you remember when A Rod signed with the rangers it was double the size of any other team sports contract in history.....lol look at it this way Boras got JD Drew over 14 million a season //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

The Tigers have dealt with Boras before //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif Pudge, Magglio, Rogers, Porcello all Boras clients. When Boras and A-rod realize no one will give him 300 million, that price will come down.

Mets Exercise Alou's Option, Re-sign Easley

According to RotoWorld, the Mets have exercised Moises Alou's $7.5MM option for 2008. With a $1MM buyout, this was effectively a $6.5MM decision. Even with time lost to injury Alou should be worth 3-4 wins, so the price is right.

They also re-upped Damion Easley, not sure the amount quite yet. Maybe $1.5MM or so. He had a nice 76 games this year and it wouldn't be the end of the world to give him the regular 2B job.

Now the Mets can move onto more important issues, like filling second base and catcher and driving up the price for A-Rod.

How much (in millions) is a win worth?

hmmm.....

 

[iceteebone 5,000+ posts]

Jones is a pretty bad pitcher. I wouldn't mind seeing him go. Might as well put him out to pasture at Shea.
