CaolinaJoe Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Fingers and Rudi to the Red Sox.Vida Blue to the Yankees.Think he was just outright selling them, can't remeber if the A's were actually going to get any players back, just cash. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of thepress. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom ofspeech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given usthe freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes theflag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, andwho allows the protester to burn the flag."Marine Chaplain Dennis Edward O' Brien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the Yanks just did the same thing with Contreras and nobody raises an eyebrow.

NJTank Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Carolina Joe is correct and the A's werenot getting anyone back which is a major reason why the trade was vetoed. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the Yanks just did the same thing with Contreras and nobody raises an eyebrow. The difference is Contreras isn't one of the top pitchers in baseball, going from a dog to a winner, who will be a free agent. Finley was making those deals because all the player were FA's to be and had made it clear there was no way in hell they were coming back.

jkrdevil Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 That and with the Yankees deal there were players involved. The White Sox got Contreras. They didn't trade Loaiza for just cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Contreas has a shot to trurn his career around he has the stuff but not the heart to pitch in New York. His ERA against the Red Sox is why he was dumped. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
