TaborJet Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 ESPN.com news services Gary Sheffield does not want to play for the Mets or any team other than the Yankees this season. "I'm not going anywhere," Sheffield told The New York Times on Wednesday. The Yankees and Mets reportedly were in discussions about a possible Sheffield-for-Mike Cameron swap. "If I have to go somewhere, I won't go," the Yankees' slugger told The Times. "If they said 'wouldn't you want to get paid', I'd say 'I've got plenty of money.' I'm not playing nowhere else, I can promise you that." Sheffield is signed through 2006 and does not have a no-trade clause in his contract. He signed a three-year, $39 million contract in December 2003. The Yankees reportedly are interested in upgrading their defense by placing Cameron in center. The Mets would add another powerful bat to the middle of their order with Sheffield, who plays right field for the Yankees. Sheffield seemed to hedge in another interview with MLB.com, saying he would want concessions for signing off on any trade. "If I have to go somewhere else, a lot of things are going to have to be changed or you're going to have an unhappy player," Sheffield told MLB.com. "I'll ask for everything. Period. You want to inconvenience me, I'm going to inconvenience every situation there is," he added. "The only reason I'm playing is that I wanted to play for the Yankees. If I don't get that opportunity, things change." Sheffield, who negotiated his current contract personally with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, did say that he wouldn't hold out if he were to be traded. "I would never sit out," Sheffield told MLB.com. "I'd go play, but that doesn't mean I'll be happy playing. If I'm not happy, you don't want me on your team. It's that simple. I'll make that known to anybody." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet/BosoxFan Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 When you think that the Yanks coulda had Guerrero or Beltran...and that they coulda re-signed Andy Pettite with the money they gave Sheffield, you gotta be relieved as a Yankee Hater! Plus, he is refusing to go to the Mets even though the Yankees want him gone, ultimately screwing the Yankees, he is like the 40-year old gift that keeps on giving.

Jet/BosoxFan Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 EB...I know youre under-aged and all, but I am really beginning to lose my patience with how DUMB you are, whether its an act or not. It's pretty painfully obvious to anybody with an IQ over 45 that I meant one, the other, or the other. NOT COMBINED YOU BIG DUMMY!!! Here are some facts for you Yankee fans to chew on: 1. fat george was wating his time with Garroid while Pettite sat idly by, waiting for some attention which he never got. He felt slighted, so he left and you havent had as good of a lefty since! 2. george turned down Vladdy because he didnt want to pay him...and he's been ALL WORLD since going to LAA while Garroid has been a pain in the ass in the Bronx 3. You coulda had Beltran, who would have been much wiser of a choice...and a much more viable option than the late great Bernie Williams if you had just held off one year and not signed Garroid.

Jet/BosoxFan Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I did answer your question, even though it wasnt worthy of a response. And its superfluous anyhow! Thats right, EB superfluous...go look it up! Heres the deal: Garroid is one of the few productive Yankees without a no trade clause. He is somewhat movable though he makes $13 mil next year and another half of that this year! That right there narrows down the takers even for a .300+ career hitter. He's been a MASSIVE jerk throughout his career which is a negative agaisnt him already. And the Yanks need to do something beyond cutting these 2 old codgers today, we can all agree on that. ONE of the few moves they can make is to move Sheffield to a big market but he is rendering them incapable of doing that by saying he'll sabotage his new team. So that's probably out now. HOW YOU GUYS ENJOYING THIS SEASON SO FAR???? BWA-HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Nice spin JBF. You know damn well that if the Yankees had gone out and signed Beltran you and everyone else here would have been screaming bloody murder of how the Yankees are ruining baseball again with their free spending ways. The reason they did not pursue Guerrero (and the reason why alot of teams did not) was the issue that he was having with his back. Turns out though the Yankees along with alot of other teams were wrong on that one. My feelings about Pettitte have been stated here on more than once so I'll let that one go at that. Even if they had gone after Guerrero they still would not have gone after Pettitte. (That is totally on George who for whatever reason had it in for Pettitte since 1997).
