Ray - I want more money! I am pretty close to breaking off negotiations (I tried $3.5 mil and then your max of $4.5 mil)
Silva - signed at $2.5 mil per year for 3 years

[mntwinsfan]

Ray 6.25 million @ 4 years

[Providence A's]

Ray - I want more money! The ice is getting even more thinner, my friend!

[mntwinsfan]

8 million @ 3

[Providence A's]

Ray - This isn't going anywhere, I will test the free agent market.

[mntwinsfan]

try 10 million at 3 years.

The sob is pulling a cuddyer on me from Hammers league

[Providence A's]

Ray - signed (phew!)

[mntwinsfan]

that is a pile of crap he pulled that off. I new Texas had that issue, but I sure thought he would have signed in the 5-6.5 million range.

[Providence A's]

well, you could have let him walk if you didn't want to pay him that much Your team made $6+ mil and you have a few other guys leaving...you should be alright, but I don't think you'll end up with a ton of money to spend on free agents...I'll know for sure when it rolls over to next season.

Bummer Ray forced you to give him so much, but thats probably better than paying Crain $3.75M to sit on the DL next season!
