he isnt going back to the yankees.......he isnt going to the mets

ATL doeesnt have that kind of money to spend

i think boston, sf, angels, cubs, or dodgers are the most likely destinations

Florida Marlins.
Im not sure if he would want to play for the marlins, however he does live in Miami, and they do have the money

Did you just come up with a list off the top of your head? Bluewahoo's list tends to be highly accurate based upon the media reports.

Angels or Cubs.

where he lives is irrelevant since hes having a huge house built in greenwich, ct........secondly the marlins have the money??

there is a reason they have a 30mil payroll.......its because they draw 6k fans a game......unless loria recently robbed ft knox.......the marlins dotn have [censored]

I wonder what the asking price is? I really hope he doesnt get 30 million. Any team that would pay him that has lost their minds. Its hard to build a winner around 1 guy. The angels and cubs at least have other good players around him already. A team like the Giants would be making a Rangers like mistake. They couldnt win it all with Bonds who carried them on their backs for years. Arod wouldnt really make a difference. If the Yanks can get better pitching, they will be fine without him. The Marlins would be interesting but I think Cabrera and Ramirez there are already great on the left side of the infield. They could do so much more for less money. I think any team could really. 30 mill is just too much. You could add 3 10 million dollar players and be better off. Spreading out production is key to post season success. Its too easy to pitch around 1 player.

Like I said, the Cubs will not be pursuing him.

And I don't see him going to the NL.

Olney and Gammons were talking about it so they are in the mix but maybe not a serious contender in that.
