Mark Buehrle Reportedly Weighing Similar Offers
Based on that report, the Rangers, Nationals and Marlins have all more or less offered Buehrle the same contract. There could be small differences, but what Buehrle is said to be seeking in addition to three years is a no-trade clause, and at last word, nobody’s given that yet.
As for the Twins, by going after Buehrle but offering less than the others, they could be trying to play off Buehrle’s familiarity and possible fondness for the AL Central. Or they could just be inept negotiators. It’s possible that Terry Ryan is way worse at his job than he used to be.
