    If they wanted an overpaid LH DH, couldn't they have just kept Delgado?

    Rumor has it, they're going to offer Cecil Fielder 48 million over 4 years to their new catcher.

    doesnt ricciardi have ANY sense of fiscal responsibility? he should be fired for the BJ Ryan signing alone, but this would be the capper.

    I can't see the Cards doing better than that for Giles. Yankees might go over the Jays head but I don't see that either. Then again, its better than Damon's projected deal.

    also when I read this it sounds like the Yankees are going after Giles because the Red Soox are not interested in him

    - The Yankees might be out of the Brian Giles sweepstakes as New York Newsday reports that the team feels that Giles doesn't have any intention of signing in the Bronx. According to the Newark Star Ledger, Giles, who wants to stay on the West Coast, is leaning towards the Blue Jays, unless he gets an attractive offer from the Angels or Dodgers.

    Delgado wouldn't be welcomed back after he decided he didn't want to wave his NTC to be traded to a contender in his last season with Toronto. so JP wouldn't want him back and I think the fans wouldn't welcome him back either I know wouldn't

    JP only offered Delgado a contract last year because he didn't want to look like an ass
