Aramis Ramirez to FA

[Rex Grossman 8]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Aramis Ramirez opted out of the final two years of his deal with the Cubs and filed for free agency on Monday. Had Ramirez not opted out, the Cubs would have had him at $22.5 million for the next two years with an $11 million option for 2009. As a free agent, the 28-year-old could receive at least $60 million over five years. He'll keep negotiating with the Cubs, but it doesn't look like the two sides are at all close to a deal. The Angels, Dodgers, Phillies, Red Sox, Giants and Padres are among the other teams that could talk to him.</div>

Wow. And you lot were so sure he'd stay with the Cubs when I said he would be the obvious choice as a replacement for A-Rod if he were traded... :whistling:

 

[AdropOFvenom]

The only person who said he would be back was the Cubs fan. lol

 

[DevinHester23]

that cubs fan would be me, and I never said that. And Hendry could be charged w/ tampering if A-Ram leaves

Is it just me or is it evertime someone is a free agent, the angels are involved in the "interested list" lol.
