Cornering the Market on Giles
Via MetsBlog.com, the Padres made an offer to Marcus Giles:
General Manager Kevin Towers said he made a contractual offer yesterday to second baseman Marcus Giles, the former Braves regular who became a free agent on Tuesday night. The proposal is believed to be worth $3 million to $4 million.
Sounds like a bargain to me if the Padres can get him at that price.
Would've thought they'd go Loretta -- but Giles bros. unite, I guess.
Giles is 8 years younger than Loretta, and probably comparable in price.
