Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I would put tack this on to the news of Billy Wagner's signing except I don't know where that is as it's probably buried in some all-purpose thread ...Anyway, Braves reliever Raphael Soriano has gone and foiled Atlanta's apparent plan by accepting their arbi offer and could be looking at a raise over the $6+ mil he was making in 2009.The Braves' pen now features recent signees Wagner and Saito in addition to Soriano. That makes for one very expensive 1/2 a bullpen and probably foils their plan of getting a draft pick back for him to replace the one they gave up to get Wagner.The Rockies Raphael Betancourt and Twins Carl Pavano were the other FAs-to-be who accepted their clubs offers.
Guest attgig Guests Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 only got 1/2 my wish:viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12852&p=316705#p316705but sounds like braves are pretty set on trading him quickly, and soriano's agent already told them that he'll accept trades before june15.
