Re: Giles signs
Giles and Peavy means the Padres will at least be decent - I am excited.

Re: Giles signs
The Padres got lucky to sign im up for that, apparently Toronto was offering 5 years, 55 million... Obv. it's only 5 million difference, but the 2 years more is a great bonus imo, isnt this guy getting old also?

JP Ricciardi, GM of the Blue Jays, point blank said the Jays didn't offer the 5 years, but the indications are that he took less money than Toronto offered to stay in SD. |

Re: Giles signs
I dont understand why Brian Cashman wasnt involved with Giles, the Yankees need a centerfielder and they're full of cash... Obv. Giles wants to stay on the west coast, so what, offer him 15m a year, it's not like the yankees care about the money anyways.

Re: Giles signs
The Yanks felt that Giles was using them for leverage and that he wasn't serious about signing with them. Also, there were personality questions, with Giles a very laid back, loosey-goosey type while the Yankee lockerroom is generally stoic.

Re: Giles signs
Cool, thanks for the info. I didnt know what type of guy Giles was and I knew the 5 years deal Toronto was offering was a rumor as well, but you never know.
