Re: 2009 MLB Thread, Part II: Claimed Off The Waiver Wire
Originally posted by AMC View PostIt's actually up to $10M w/ incentives. And kinda smart on his part. The A's just want to trade him at the deadline, so Sheets will be on a contender in August instead of on a bad Mets team. And the A's will probably only pay about $5M, max, and get some good prospects.
edit: where did you see up to $10 mil? Everything I have seen says 10 plus incentives.Last edited by jen; 01-27-2010, 10:13 AM.

Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostThere is no reason that the Twins shouldn't be pushing $90-100 million in payroll with a new state funded stadium that gives the revenue they couldn't get from the Metrodome. The place will be sold out this season and if they keep Mauer and play well, it should be regularly sold out. Luxury money goes to the twins. There really is no excuse in a metro area of this size that the Twins can complain now that they have their own stadium.
