cordero has been in that poistion....in 2004 rangers were in thick of the division race, and he blew a few key games down the stretch to oakland and we lost the division by a game or two

"we"

i love when clubs say we can't afford to keep a player... maybe instead of buying a luxury car or another house the owner could use the teams revenue to resign players who have played well and are the very reason that revenue was earned

BCOLTRINARI...to be fair to the Cubs they have already wasted $300 million on other players...

hey truth, bcoltrinari isnt talkin'' bout the cubs, he said clubs, u know organizations. quite frankly this matter shouldnt even concern the cubs, its the brewers. and quite frankly i believe they will be able to keep cordero, i mean if he really loves where he is at and doin' wat he does, then he shouldnt worry about the money should he?

truth the cubs did spend and they are on the cusp of making the playoffs. suave very few players care more about the team than they do about the money. sure they say o i love playing here and that they can't really picture playing somewhere else but then when free agency hits all of a sudden money becomes a big issue.

The Brewers Should, with the capital S, resign him. Young club, not Cub, with a future if they don't screw it up.

When you tell a guy he is the reason for the teams success how can you then go and not sign him? The Brewers must not enjoy being contenders or something.

They will sign him, no worries there.

The TRUTH realizes that BCOLTRINARI was talking about CLUBS...The TRUTH enjoys using real examples to back up his salacious commentary.

Now you LOCK IT UP!

You never know plan b. Good pen help is hard to find these days so when a good arm does hit the market the bidding will begin and the Brewers aren't willing to spend what the Rangers, Yankees, Mets and Sox of the world can and will.

Ah, you mean market price.
Well teams had better start using some of the money they are getting or they will get no pity, and no fans, eventually.

The Brewers cant afford him theyll be as many as 10 clubs interested and theyll be throwing big money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Macadamien- this is why as a team you try to offer players an extension a year or 2 before they get to free agency. If they accept it then great you have them signed at below market value. If they decline make sure the media finds out so that player can't say well I love playing here because everyone will then know they are only it in for the money.

Look at what the Mets did. They signed Wright and Reyes to deals years before they hit free agency and they have them locked up for years at a reasonable price. Smart baseball by Minaya and the Mets brass.

A successful post-season is the key to his retention.

The Real Truth does not speak in 3rd person. The poser Truth is a lie. A worthless troll who has nothing better to do but make stupid posts like these.

Red Sox could go after him and move Papelbon to the rotation.

30,

There will be no postseason for the Brewers
