Santana denies SI report

Johan Santana today said he has not cut off negotiations with the Twins over a contract extension and said he did not know of the team making a two-year extension offer. His words directly refuted a story today by si.com.....

SL - can you imagine the Giants pitching staff today if they still had Santana, Bonser and Nathan? My god they would be nasty.

Dice-K didn't get signed for $100M, he got $50M over 6.

Johan's money. 2008 Yankees rotation, jamone!

All they have to do is buy Carpenter and Webb at the same time... dig those pockets deep, Georgie.

It's clearly relevant. He's not getting $18.7M a year, which would be something like top 10 salary per year, he's getting <$9M, which isn't top 50. After all, this thread is about comparing salaries.

Why can't it be about dollars spent by the team that has the player?

[prohornblower]

Dice-K didn't see the original $50M or whatever. He signed for about 50, not 100.

Not relevant to Santana. People just like saying and typing about DICE K OMG!

If the Sox didn't need to pay the fee to DM's previous team, then DM would've gotten the money. The full package is the appropriate amount to use for this.
