Re: Jermaine Dye Retiring?
Perhaps a way to get a few teams to call him?

Possibly, or the offers he did get didn't pay as much as he thinks he deserves.

Re: Jermaine Dye Retiring?
Well if the Tigers are going to outbid everyone by $3MM for Damon then Dye could still get around $2-3MM.. Is it worth it? Who knows but he didn't help his case by flopping in the 2nd half

Re: Jermaine Dye Retiring?
It's a ploy to keep his name out there and land a job. It's called "pulling a Favre".

Re: Jermaine Dye Retiring?
Jim Edmonds is bragging.. He didn't have to play last year and got a contract

Re: Jermaine Dye Retiring?
And it was only last year when many posters were begging us to send Bailey their way to get Dye.
And the year before, Votto and Bailey for Garko. You could get either right now for a "coke and a bag of chips". |

Re: Jermaine Dye Retiring?
Really? Votto and Bailey for Garko? Yikes! I was part of the Bailey and lower level prospect for Dye last year but I'd never.. Ev..ever trade Votto and Bailey for Ryan Garko.

Because Garko was a stud!!! I just checked back, and RedLegJake suggested that Bailey and Votto would likely not be enough to get Garko, in April 2008. Last edited by PuffyPig; 02-12-2010 at 11:49 PM. |

RedLegJake, EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

Re: Jermaine Dye Retiring?
Apparently MLB teams have finally recognized that aging sluggers who can no longer play the field simply aren't much of a commodity.
