Thursday, November 04, 2004Agent: Beltran wants 10-year dealFrom ESPN:
Houston Astros free agent center fielder Carlos Beltran is seeking a 10-year contract, his agent told a television station on Thursday.I'll give you three guesses as to who Beltran's agent is. You're only going to need one... "All of the fundamental aspects about the desire of him to stay in Houston and to look at Houston as a serious contender for his services I think are there," Scott Boras said in an interview with KRIV.10 years!? Boras has officially stepped over the line of sanity if he's serious with this crap. Keep in mind that Beltran is 27 now, meaning you would be locking him up for the five or so years of his peak production, and then the five years after that. And all at some exorbitant sum, I would assume. There is no team crazy enough to give any player another A-Rodesqe deal- not even the Yankees- and that's pretty much what Boras is asking for. (Now watch Steinbrenner prove me wrong...) |
