[Sha-Le Unique]

Bosoxi hasn't been on in nearly a month and hasn't responded to multiple e-mails I've sent him since then. Thus, I'm concerned his health may have taken a turn for the worse and the A's for all we know might be open now. This extension should be done for the team going forward.

RF Dusty Baker $5.2 million x 3 years (asking price)

SP Alfredo Ortiz could be another extension candidate here, but I'll leave that option to you, Chris.

[CSCommish]

Thanks Shale.

Signed Baker to AP and Ortiz to 3M/3. I made reasonable offers to Roland, but after 8M, he still wanted more $, so I let him go to FA.

Going to try 3B- S.Bando one more time at 3,250,000 x 2

Thanks!

[CSCommish]

More $; close to breaking off negotiations.

FYI, he's asking 8.5M/3 and you have 94M+ in available cash + max 50M cash + max 100M stadium fund, so I'd consider paying up, at least for 2 years.

[dgfred]

OK.

Sign 3B- Bando to 8,500,000 x 3 next chance you get. Thanks.
