Wren playing with monopoly money?

by Bobby Cocks on Nov 14, 2008 7:08 PM EST

Got this from another board. Guy says he saw it on ESPN. But there's no link so take it with a grain of salt:

CC Sabathia:

The Braves offer to CC: 6 years, 110 million
The Yankee's offer to CC: 6 years, 142 million

AJ Burnett:

The Braves offered AJ: 4 years, 62 million
The Yankees offered AJ: 4 years, 60 million

Ryan Dempster:

The Braves offered Ryan: 4 years, 67 million
The Cubs offered Ryan: 4 years, 58 million

Offering more to Dempster than Burnette? Say it ain’t so…

I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

Like I said, there’s no link. I’m sure we’ll know more later tonight.
But maybe this is Wren giving a big FU to Towers.

i think its bullshit, because if he did, theres no fucking way dempster would say “well, lets see what other offers i can get”

haha No joke.

I honestly don’t want Dempster, he had a good year for a great team. I’d rather have AJ Burnett. I’ve always thought this guy could be like Halladay. He just needs to stay healthy.

Gawd, I’d love to have Hallady. Why does he want to waste away in the cold north that is Canada?

Yeah, Dempster would trouble me at that price

Burnett is far more valuable, even with his injury history included.

Halladay

Is that just wishful thinking, or have you heard it somewhere? Halladay might be the best active pitcher.

Clearly wishful thinking

We are offering Ryan Dumpster $17mil a year??? I hope you mean 4 years $17 mil. Are you kidding me This guy only has ONE good year ppl!! We cant invest that kind of money on a guy who got all the run support in the world with the Cubs and give him ACE money! Thas a fair offer to CC, but no matter what we offer, The Evil Empire will out bid. I want Burnett. In a perfect world I would also take Lowe.

Iam glad we are aggressive in the free agent market. I never seen the Braves be so aggressive. Liberty Media is standing by there word.Frank Wren is a smart man and no matter what happened in the neg with the Pades, he still comes out a winner. Way to go Frank.
