2005-2006 Off-Season Signings thread

[Frayed Knot]

Piazza's agent contacting the NYY is still a long ways from "close to signing with them" -- particularly when backed with an article that starts out with the sentence;
"Yankees probably will pass on Mike Piazza"

Alex Gonzalez to Boston-- 1 year, $3 Million.

Benjie Molina (finally) to the Jays; 1 yr/$5mil

I may be wrong here, but I thought the purpose of holding out was to do so for more money. He shoulda called Omar back.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Omar withdrew two offers to free agent Latin Americans to instead trade for an Italian-American New York native.

How'boutthat?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Nobody's gonna notice that.

And if they do, they'll explain it away somehow.

1B Scott Hatteberg to Cincinnatti -- 1 year, 750K

Weaver signs with the Angels

[Guest sharpie]

Good signing for Angels. Weaver stays close to home which seems to mean something for his stats.
