by Matt Snyder Filed under: Angels , Mets , AL West , NL East , MLB Rumors Remember, just a few days ago, that Derek Lowe was insulted by the Mets' initial offer -- because of Carlos Silva , naturally. Apparently that did the trick, because now the Mets are ready to amp up their courtship. With some other teams in the fray, expect Mets' GM Omar Minaya -- who said he expects negotiations to drag on...
Joel Sherman of the New York Post sees no way Derek Lowe accepts the three-year, $36 million offer from the Mets, which is less money and years than Carlos Silva, who signed a four-year, $48 million deal with M’s last off-season. Sherman writes, “Lowe considers himself far superior to Silva.” This is going to take a while. [...]
As Seattle endures another day of horrible weather we can’t dig ourselves out of, we shouldn’t lose sight of how this is a perfect example of what a selfish player Carlos Silva. He throws what, two good innings all year in a lost season and when the city could really use some clutch help, where [...]
It’s hardly just the Yankee blogs who are dismayed with the Bombers’ huge investment in starter A.J. Burnett. The Boston Globe’s Tony Massarotti dismisses the former Blue Jays hurler as one his “Five Worst Pitching Contracts” alongside Surfin’ Barry, Carlos Silva, Jason Schmidt and Kei Igawa, writing, “First of all, he has an obvious injury [...]
The Cosafa disciplinary committee has banned Angolan Under-20 defender Adlison Carlos Silva from all Cosafa tournaments for four years after he assaulted and insulted a match official after their loss to Mozambique in the semi-finals at Galeshewe Stadium, Kimberley on Friday.
Portly: “The Mariners won’t say what the man nicknamed “Buffalo” weighed at the end of the season, although it clearly wasn’t a four-pound difference. It was more like 30.” Buffalo, of course, is the one, the only, Carlos Silva. (Herald Net via Intern Bill)
-P- The Cubs have re-signed Ryan Dempster for four years and $52 million , which seems like quite a lot to give someone who was having a perfectly mediocre career until this year. It beats $48 million for Carlos Silva , I suppose. Dempster was thoroughly good in 2008--his excellent ERA wasn't entirely the result of a fluky BABIP, or anything like that (although he did strand a few more runners than...
WFAN’s Mike Francesa says he spoke with Mets GM Omar Minaya this morning. When Mike asked about Manny Ramirez Omar responded pitching, pitching, pitching: The Mets will make Oliver Perez an offer but the Mets fear Carlos Silva’s contract may hurt negotiations. The Mets will make an offer to Pedro Martinez. The Mets do have interest in Derek [...]
Barry Zito. Kevin Brown. Darren Dreifort. Carlos Silva. Those are just some examples of teams inking free-agent pitchers to long-term deals, only to have them blow up in their faces. John Donovan of Sports Illustrated.com wrote this excellent piece on why it might not be such a good idea for any team to offer CC Sabathia the huge bucks that he's asking. Why? Despite the excellent work of Sabathia during...
According to Derrick Goold and Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Cardinals plan to finalize a four-year extension for starter Kyle Lohse this morning. Sources tell Goold and Strauss the deal will be similar to Carlos Silva's four-year, $48MM contract. It may be tempting to call this a loss for Scott Boras, since his client chose not to test the open market. Lohse settled for $4.5MM in...
The M’s may cut salary this off-season, and I was curious about how much hurt that’s going to put the team in. The team has $76m in payroll committed for next season. Ichiro gets $17m, Beltre $12m, Carlos Silva $11m, Washburn $10m, Batista $9m, Johjima $8m, Putz $5m and then Lopez and Betancourt get $1.6 and [...]
Seattle: 57-98 Angels: 96-59 GAMES Game 1: Ryan Rowland-Smith * vs Ervin Santana Game 2: Ryan Feierabend * vs Jered Weaver Game 3: Felix Hernandez vs Jon Garland Game 4: Carlos Silva (questionable) vs ? Rowland-Smith has had thoroughly mediocre results out of the rotation so far this year despite possessing the talent to be a satisfactory back end option. The main culprit has been the disappearance...
Remember when, according to some , Carlos Silva was the best free agent pitcher available this winter? Remember when, upon missing out on Hiroki Kuroda , the Mariners panicked about their starting rotation, signing said Silva to a $48M, 4 year contract? Remember certain parties (e.g. me) saying that they hated the contract, but Silva was reasonably valuable and likely to improve the team, provided...
