Seattle releases Bret Boone

[ClipJoint]

Wow, its a bargain the Twins could not pass up! dirt cheap

Great pick up for Minnesota.

Boone seems like a perfect fit for the Twins, those perennial over-achievers.And though Manny may lead the league in assists, I would have to guess that many of those assists came after he butchered a pop-up, recovered, and surprised base runners with his throw while they were still marvelling at his initial folly. A gold glover he ain't.

Nothing like getting fired, getting a $9 mil "severance", and getting a new job in 8 days.

That folks, is what you call CHA CHING!!!!!!!!!

Steroids

I've never seen a grown man cry over getting released before. Truly pathetic.

Does anyone know when Boonie signed his last contract?? Was it after his steroid enhanced 2001 season??:muscles:

 

[dmmd98]

Yes he was a free agent after the 2001 season where he signed that contact to resign with Seattle

We`re happy to have him, especially @ that price!
