Bobby Abreu Is A Dateless Wonder

PrintNegotiations between the Chicago White Sox and free-agent outfielder Bobby Abreu stalled early this week after the team floated the possibility of a one-year, $8 million contract, said a baseball source.
The source disputed a New York Daily News report that said the White Sox had made Abreu an $8 million offer...According to the source, the White Sox have some interest in acquiring Abreu and adding a pitcher, but Williams can't make those moves unless he trades right fielder Jermaine Dye and his $11.5 million salary. And the team has made little or no headway in trade talks involving Dye.
According to Cot's, Bobby Abreu has earned nearly $95m over the course of his career. I'm beginning to think that, if he wants to play baseball next season, he should just sign Jermaine Dye or Jarrod Washburn himself.

If the Dodgers have really given up on Manny...
…and are kicking the tires on Adam Dunn, it seems like they should also be kicking the tires on Abreu. Abreu is no Manny, but if you can save $17M in the process that could be a worthwhile trade-off.
I wouldn't call the White Sox or Mariners the Head Cheerleader.

You misunderstand
a big paday and a starting OF spot is the head cheerleader

Signing Cliff Floyd make sense to anybody as a DH and bench player?
Isn’t a great defender but isn’t horrible. Left handed. Still can hit ok. Probably really cheap so we can afford him unlike Abreu.
Guys like Floyd and Edmonds would be worth calling just to see where they stand
although at that point the entire city would be up in arms over why Zduriencik didn’t just call our own broken-down former star.

Griffey deserves a call
A Ken Griffey Jr day would be a great way to show respect to the player after he retires.

We could trot him out with Joey Cora and Doug Strange!

Joey Cora has a job
and only retired players with nothing else to do come to these sort of things. Have to give somebody else a call.

He could be inducted
into the Mariners’ Ring Of Players Who Used To Play Here! That’ll make Niehaus shed a tear.

The whole city is retarded if they'd rather have Griffey than Edmonds

Well, the most of the city tends to go with their emotions over the numbers.
Griffey is a symbol of a once proud team at a time when the team is terrible.
Griffey is our Cincinnatus
except without the good bits.
