According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Nationals, White Sox, Braves, Yankees and Dodgers are ‘expected to bid big’ on free-agent OF Torii Hunter.
Multiple reports in the last few months have noted how Hunter rejected a four-year, $56 million offer from the Twins, which Hunter has denied.
…either way, the buzz in baseball has long been that he will seek a deal similar to what was given to Vernon Wells or Ichiro Suzuki, and rightfully so, paying him roughly $100 million over six years…the thing is, if the Braves are unwilling to give that type of money to free-agent OF Andruw Jones, who will seek the same contract, why would they give to hunter, as the minnesota newspaper suggests…
…personally, i think the Braves are far more likely to trade for andruw’s replacement, such as Red Sox OF Coco Crisp…




i really hope they sign coco crisp. the downfall of the braves continues!!
Francour will be the CFer for atl in “08.
