Sullivan: Rangers "not optimistic" about signing Wilson
by Adam J. Morris on Dec 7, 2011 2:00 PM CST
Email
PrintT.R. Sullivan writes that the Rangers are "not optimistic" about signing free agent lefty C.J. Wilson, and expect him to instead sign with either the Angels or the Marlins.
I don't think that should be a surprise to anyone. The Rangers have publicly said they wanted Wilson back, and I think at the right price, they probably would like to have him back. The "right price," though, wasn't likely to be close to what Wilson was seeking, or close to what he was likely to command in the free agent marketplace.
Jim Bowden just tweeted that Ron Washington says the Rangers went to five years on C.J. Wilson in the offer they made last night. The devil is in the details, of course...there's still the question of whether the offer is five years guaranteed, or has a vesting option, like the "six year" Adrian Beltre contract that is really five years with a vesting option.
Meanwhile, people are also tweeting that the Florida Marlins have gone to six years for C.J., which I think it is unlikely the Rangers were ever going to do.

Not a joke CJ just txt me the news
Sorry guys. I feel your pain too
by eclou
Well its now up to a hour and 12 minutes from his post, presumably some chunk of time since he would have signed.
Really does seem like a reporter would know by now if it was actually a done deal and not just “close” that could be interrupted by a Rangers counter.
Paging Eclou, was the text out of the blue or did you ask him? Troll reply?
Maybe one of C.J.'s friends got a hold of his phone...

CJ has NOT signed with the Angels yet. Rangers still in serious consideration. After warning you guys about misleading news I have to say I am guilty of jumping the gun myself (misread my txt messages). I’ll save Adam the trouble and voluntarily ban myself for awhile.

Not me
I want to see him 4 times a year and kick his ass AND have that contract hamstring that organization.
I don't want to face him because he's a good pitcher and it could be that that contract doesn't hamstring them at all...
by ghostofErikThompson on Dec 7, 2011 2:15 PM CST up reply actions
They have a huge payroll
I’m way more afraid of him contributing, then them regretting that contract in 4 years.
He is a good pitcher
But I do have a feeling that he will get so amped up for those games that he will think it’s October.
I don't want to face him either...he's shown he can survive in Texas and
he’ll be a monster in Anaheim.

That'd be a lot better than the Angels.
Hopefully both increase the Rangers interest in Fielder by losing CJ and decrease the bidding war by losing a competitor.
Granted they’d probably just focus on Buerhle.
Tom Verducci just said on MLB network...
Marlins offered him 6 years.

I'd hold the phone on that
I bet he signed with the Angels, they’ve just not cared to leak it—could be for a number of reasons.
Its not just CJ/Angels that would have to give the info out though
Once hes signed they will tell the Rangers/Marlins/etc. that its over and its got to leak through to someone eventually.
It hasn’t been THAT long yet, but there’s some kind of clock on an actually done deal…

Im not concerned about it for the next 3-4 years
Problem is hes going to get more than that.
But if he were a fitter 32 year old, then you’d have the same concern about the later years due to his age anyway.
I’d like one single positive Fielder report from the Rangers just to validate the discussion though =\
Yeah, I'm kind of done with that.
I don’t see how we get much better, at this point.
I can see us extending like crazy, but that seems like it will just turn into bad contracts, and a period of decline in 3-4 years.
I'm with you.
Plus he doesn’t exactly have a scary injury history.

If they get CJ
they will trade Haren or Santana for offense is what I’ve heard.

They have approximately 10-15 million for this winter
But they have other areas of need to address. If they signed CJ they would most likely have to trade either Haren or Santana to address those other areas

Depends who they can get for Santana/Haren
The FA market at the positions they need aren’t great so trade is perhaps the best route
Here
Piniero, Abreu, Kazmir, Rodney = $31M coming off the books for this year.
But, Weaver, Kendrick, Aybar, and Collaspo all have big raises.
If they do sign CJ, I can’t see them shoring up their bullpen, which needs some major help, unless they are willing to increase salary.
That money is likely already spoken for between Harens option and Weavers new deal
Then they have guys coming up for FA
its been beaten to death.. but that vernon wells contract handicapped them to the point

are you sure?
could’ve sworn the Pads are getting the 2nd rounder or w/e because Bell signed before Reyes
x
When Bell was modified, it was decided that a team signing him would not have to sacrifice a pick at all to get him. Instead, the Padres will get a compensation pick (sandwich A, we can still call it) after the first round is over. They will also get a second-round pick right in front of the Marlins’ second-round selection.
Here’s the kicker. Even though the Marlins did not have to give up that second-round pick to the Padres, it’s not available to the Mets as compensation for the Reyes signing. Because Bell signed first, that pick in effect is a part of that signing, even though its part is that it didn’t have to be forfeited. Instead, the Mets will get a Comp A pick and the Marlins’ selection in the third round.
x
Had the Marlins officially signed Reyes first, the Mets would have received that second-round pick. In other words, they get penalized a round because of the Bell signing. That might be something that doesn’t bother the Marlins, given they are in the same division as the Mets. But it’s probably likely that Bell himself will love it. He’s not exactly a fan of the Mets from his time in their system and the fact that his signing cost them a round might give him a little chuckle.
Except that the Mets are getting the 2nd round pick.
And the Padres are getting a comp pick right before that pick.

I was talking about the Mets and Reyes getting the third rounder
Thus, we would get the fourth rounder if CJ signed with Marlins.
But, I recent developments on changes just posted an hour ago:
Major League Baseball said last week that the Mets would get a third-round pick from Miami if Jose Reyes signed there, not a second-round pick.
Apparently, things have changed. The Padres will get pick 9a in the second round created from thin air for losing Heath Bell. And the Mets will get pick 9b in the second round, Newsday reported.
The Mets also get a pick between the first and second rounds.

nevermind
I probably should have looked at rankings rather than assuming reyes was higher
I'm still unclear on a team signing multiple type a's
Is it in order of when they signed them or the ranking of type a’s? If it was order, wouldn’t the Mets have received the 2nd rounder over the Padres? They were initially getting the third. I know they added the picks in the middle of rounds to make it even more confusing.
This sounds like good news.

wow, CJ's first choice is LAAA
he’s using Marlins deal to leverage deal w/ Angels. Buerhle going to NL.
per Rosenthal
He speculated this in an interview?
Emily Jones: Adrian Beltre's pretty good?
Mike Napoli: Wow. How about that guy.
The truth about MLers from a MLer, Todd Coffey:
"In my heart of hearts, if it's the right contract, I would look to definitely come back to the Nationals."
Yuck, gonna watch all his starts in the post season then..
cause that’s surely how I’ll feel after all this is done.
that doesn't mean LAAAAA is his first choice though
it could just as easily be that TEX is his first choice, but they told his agent no way on the 6th year, so now he’s trying to get that extra year/more money from the other team in play for him.
exact quote from Rosenthal
“I’m also told there is still a possibility that CJ Wilson is trying to use the Marlins offer to leverage the Nat…Angels, I’m sorry, into a better deal. That his FIRST CHOICE is Anaheim.”
BUT THE CALIFORNIA GUN LAWS!

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
So, per Twitter, we know conclusively that CJ is going to LAAAAA...unless he goes to the Marlins....or re-signs with Texas....or goes to some other team in the NL
Thank god for Twitter. Otherwise we’d have no clue what was going on.

Buster_ESPN: Marlins have big offers out to C.J. Wilson (6 years) and Mark Buehrle (perhaps as many as 4), and will sign whoever says yes first
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Buehrle is going to sign with the Marlins
And CJ will default to the Angels offer.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver

But I rather CJ go to MIA than LA.
What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. ~Leo Durocher
They won't need to match if the report's correct and Buehrle agrees to 4 years.
The way everything’s stacking up, in my imagination:
Wilson will hold out, since he’s in no rush, and has at least two teams fighting over him.
Buehrle will jump at a 4-year deal, since it’s not clear any other team is going to be as high on him as the Marlins.
That will take the Marlins out of the Wilson bidding, which leaves LAA as the very-much-most-likely winner.

From TR
According to CJ Wilson, he has not yet made a decision about his contract offers.
The Rangers, Angels and Marlins appear to be the most likely candidates, but he still does not know where he will play next season. Wilson said "I have not made a decision. I’m still considering. It’s like I’m being torn in different directions".
"The fattest countries have the biggest tits" -Texas Jihad, 10-12-11
the theory that I just pulled from my buttocks
eclou is closer to CJ than we thought and hi’s text said “I’m going to sign with Angels” but he hasn’t told the Angels yet because he’s still trying to get them to shell out more money.
I have no idea how to feel about this.
On one hand, I almost wish he’d just decide to sign with Miami, so that LAA doesn’t get him.
On the other, I can’t totally give up on the idea that he’ll take a serious discount to stay with Texas.
I’m leaning toward the first, though, since I can’t completely buy the idea that he’ll take that serious a discount to stay with the Rangers.

I think the Rangers should up their offer on CJ
If he’s really going to sign with the Angels, I’d shell out another $15M over the next 5 years (or whatever the contract-difference is) to keep him off their staff.
CJ as an Angel doesn't scare me that much.
He’s not a soft-tosser, so our offense shouldn’t have big problems with him. I’d love to have him back and I’d hate to see him play for a division rival, but I don’t think he’s the difference maker in the balance of power in the AL West.
"Ok, post your favorite moment of the Tom Hicks era
Mine is today when he sold the team." - t ball
Not sure how to respond to this
the soft-tossing lefty thing is dumb, no offense.
But, even if you think WE can succeed against him, he still gets a lot of starts against the rest of baseball, which should translate into a lot of wins.
but you can't just shell out another $15mil
to keep him from going to a division rival. Desperate moves rarely work out.
This offseason doesn’t end when CJ picks where he wants to play for the next several years.
Don't you think the Angels wish they'd done just that with Beltre last year
The name of the game is making the playoffs. Get to the playoffs and you can win a WS.
Signing a 5-WAR pitcher away from your rival is a 6-7 win swing for the Rangers.
the Angels probably wish they hadn't traded for Wells
and gave up Napoli more than they regret not getting Beltre.
You don’t know that the extra money wouldn’t be bidding against yourself. If CJ really wants to play in LAA then he’ll go there unless we overpay.
I believe the Rangers put a fair offer out to him. It’s CJ’s choice now. If he doesn’t choose to stay here, JD will have to go find another way to improve the club.
I think he wants to sign with us, but we aren't giving up the same dough
And LAA has a lot of advantages for him, too.
Also, strawman on the Vernon trade…
Doesn't have anything to do with whether they wish they'd signed Beltre away from us
the Angels probably wish they hadn’t traded for Wells
and gave up Napoli more than they regret not getting Beltre.
ok. I'll be more clear
No. I don’t think they wish they had ponied up more money for Beltre.
I do think they regret the Wells trade (and losing of Napoli).
An addendum or expansion on your original point, sure, but not a strawman arguement. In no way am I using the regret over the Wells trade as a reason they don’t regret the Beltre signing.
Gotcha, then I misinterpreted.
If they’d signed Beltre and kept Napoli, there’s a good chance they beat the Rangers out for the West, so why wouldn’t they regret that decision?
Callaspo was decent for them
and he definately fits the Sciocia (that’s probably mispelled but fuck him anyway) player mold.
And Callaspo doesn’t cost the Beltre money either, so all in all while I agree that with Beltre and Napoli things are different last year I don’t think they really regret missing out on Beltre.
Napoli and Wells though… I think that pretty much is what got Reagins fired. I would assume they all regret that trade a lot.
That's exacly what the Angels
are trying to do. Trying to put up a contract that’s comparable w/ Texas’ and scare the Rangers into over paying. This team doesn’t need CJ that goddamn bad.
"That's like asking whether I'd rather you kick me in the gonads or pee on my face" - Jobu
And if they do, then I'm not
worried one fucking bit. I’ll put that Rangers offense against that shitty Angels offense. CJ is not mini Cliff Lee. We WILL be succesful against him no matter where he is. I don’t care where CJ goes, he makes me grind my teeth, if the Rangers keep him at a reasonable price, then great, but if he goes else where, I have no problem hating him instantly.
"That's like asking whether I'd rather you kick me in the gonads or pee on my face" - Jobu
I like your hurrah attitude
But just being realistic, Angels have a very good chance of winning the West next season with those 4 leading the rotation.
Yea they have a good chance,
but I think that they have to get a bat in that lineup to keep up. If they keep that roto together, then I think it’s unlikely they add a bat. Plus, I have confidence in the FO that if the Angels do get CJ, they will look for a TORP to trade for that will keep the Rangers well at the top of the West.
"That's like asking whether I'd rather you kick me in the gonads or pee on my face" - Jobu
I wonder how many years and the AAV the Angels have to go to get CJ based upon contract.
Buerhle a hair under $15; CJ has to get an offer substantially more than that, it would seem. Maybe $17M AAV.
Maybe they exceeded Weavers’ contract?

CJ, if you're reading.
You’re a good-to-very good pitcher who seems to love himself some him. I respect that. I want you to pitch for my baseball team, but I don’t think you’re worth $80 or $100 million. Besides, do you really want to be an Angel douche? No, you don’t.

From T.R.:
CJ Wilson Update
According to CJ Wilson, he has not yet made a decision about his contract offers.
The Rangers, Angels and Marlins appear to be the most likely candidates, but he still does not know where he will play next season. Wilson said "I have not made a decision. I’m still considering. It’s like I’m being torn in different directions".
