So he signs with the Marlins... Ouch Twisted Evil

MIAMI Jan 26, 2005 — Carlos Delgado wanted to play for a contender, and the Florida Marlins look like one now. Delgado agreed Tuesday to a $52 million, four-year contract. The deal, which includes an option year making it potentially worth $64 million over five seasons, is contingent on the Delgado passing a physical Wednesday.

New York also made a $52 million, four-year offer, of which $2 million was the buyout of a fifth-year option.

"You can't win them all," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said. "You don't like losing, but those things happen."

Delgado's side calculated that in present-day value, New York's offer was worth $30,000 more than Florida's.

Yeah, still a suprise that the Mets didn't up their offer though. You'd think New York folk would be used to over-paying for things... Razz

Ordonez should be good, if he's healthy that is... Confused

And hey, looks like the Mets signed "The Guy Formally Known as the One Who Has the World Series Ball" while I was looking up how to spell his last name Exclamation

I was going to say that there's only one NY team that overpays SOME players, but then I thought about the Mets signing Pedro for $53 mill and then Allan Houston's $100 mill contract...so the Yankees are not alone in that dept. Besides, at least the Yanks put their money to good use (except w/ Giambi). Everyone else is worth every penny.
