Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Thomson to Toronto, Lopez to Colorado

Two guys who have had some fan support here have landed elsewhere, according to Rotoworld. Thomson reportedly gets only $500,000 guaranteed, but there is no word on incentives. Lopez signed a non-guaranteed deal with incentives that could take his price to $1.6 million.

Thomson wouldn't have been a horrible option, but these two guys have a lot of questions surrounding them.

Would be nice if we could get Mulder
for that price.

This should help the market a little bit though on the rest of the free agent pitchers.

I'm not sure how...
either of these signings will set a market.

Yeah
Thomson was the last resort for teams who didn't even want to spend what Armas, Ohka, Weaver, etc. will cost. I assume that Toronto was just the first to give up and go to their last resort. And Lopez is either done or real close to it.

Granted, a lot of teams aren't going to pay
Weaver what he wants. He probably thinks he'll still be able to get close to $10 a year.

That Marquis signing is looking real good now. lol. Meche even better.

Thomson
I would have liked to have gotten him back at that price.
