I Guess I Should Say Thanks For Saying No - Thanks!!
Wow – this sure came out of left field. According to Dejan Kovacevic, the Giants offered outfielder Adam LaRoche a two year, 17.5 million dollar deal……..to which he TURNED DOWN because it wasn’t enough money. Say what!?
LaRoche had a very solid season last year after moving to the Braves, .325/.401/.557 with 12 home runs and a .957 OPS in 212 at-bats…not so hot for the Pirates however.
LaRoche also turned 30 this past season, so the thinking that he’ll not only get a more lucrative offer but a longer one seems like wishful thinking. I for one, am glad he turned the Giants down…despite their need for some more pop.
Life long San Francisco Giants fan living in Southern California after getting lost on a family trip to see Shamu in the early 90's. I'm currently the Editor of both the San Francisco Giants (Around The Foghorn) and Sacramento Kings (A Royal Pain) blogs on the FanSided network, where I'm paid in gum. In addition, I am the co-administrator of KingsForum.net, a Sacramento Kings fan forum. As you can tell by my fandom choices, I'm a bit of a masochist. As to the rumors, yes, they're true - I was the one who shot 50 Cent nine times, and yes, it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none, especially when you don't include a unicorn in the festivities. Am I right, or am I right?
If you need to find me, I'd check your local county jail intake first - or hit me up on Twitter @aroyalpain or @roundthefoghorn if you're feeling risky.
