Brilliant idea. If LAC is officially dead, couldn't Lerner afford $20,000 to buy a panic monkey to go off in the 6th inning every time the Nats are losing?

I think the chances of the Os, Ms, or Brewers are zero. it comes down to: if the Rangers sign Darvish we get Fielder. If they don't we don't.

Even if they don't sign Darvish, there is no guarantee they will go all out for Prince. I do agree however that if they sign Darvish, the chance of us getting Fielder will improve substantially.

If Boras and the Rangers don't have some sort of secret agreement, pending the Darvish resolution, then what else could Boras and Fielder be waiting for?

Plausibly, we have a lowball offer and a "take it or leave it, that's final" stance, and Boras and Fielder are waiting for someone - anyone - to top it, or for someone - anyone - to force us to raise our offer.

But what possible team is left, that we haven't ruled out?

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #1959 on:** January 10, 2012, 05:22:17 pm »

Dodgers, Blue Jays, Brewers

Report: Rangers Offering Yu Darvish 'Dice-K Money'

Heyman says it's unknown whether $52 million is the exact amount offered or if the offer is for six years, as was the case with Matsuzaka in 2007, when he received a six-year deal worth $52 million. Texas' offer for Darvish reportedly could be for five years.

Five Banners · « **Reply #1963 on:** January 10, 2012, 05:27:26 pm »

Heyman's original piece has the Freudian slip of the year: "The Rangers are concentrating completely on Darvish at the moment, and if a deal is struck, their chances to make a real run at star free agent slugger Price Fielder would be diminished." Pay the Price for success, NATS!

Yes I meant besides the Rangers. Certainly if they don't sign Darvish there is a good chance they will sign Fielder. My point is that it they do sign Darvish (and everyone thinks they will, except me) then they certainly won't sign Fielder.

InsaneBoost · « **Reply #1967 on:** January 10, 2012, 05:39:34 pm »

So Rangers, Nationals and Dodgers, interesting.

I think mlbtr thinks no now, I certainly think no- they're certainly lowballing him now

I don't see how the Dodgers can sufficiently resolve their ownership situation soon enough for a deal of this magnitude.

That's what I responded with. They just paid Kemp what, 160mil? Think it'd be hard when I believe another big player of theirs needs to be signed as well.

more that they don't have an owner to sign off on the deal- wasn't McCourt still in charge for the kemp deal?

That I'm not 100% sure of.
