Per Olney tweet, look for resolution in 48 hours

Specifically, Vlad wants more than what the O's are offering.

What does the actual tweet say?

Just off your comments, I would say people in hell want ice water, but you take what you can get Vladdy! :angryfire:

[Moose Milligan]

Of course he does. But will he get it?

Chances are....remote!

Here ya go:

The next 48 hours expected to be pivotal in the Vladimir Guerrero contract talks. The O's have their offer on table;Vlad is looking for more

[ChaosLex]

Sorry, should've included Vlad in the thread title. I'm posting from my cellphone right now.

I read that tweet and thought, "....ok?".

Here ya go:

Thanks Moose. :thumbsup1:

But Vlad has been looking for more since October. What does the next 48 have to do with anything? Does he think the Orioles will up the ante even though nobody else is bidding, or does he think Vlad will take a part time role somewhere just so he doesn't have to play in Baltimore? Why would Vlad think anything will change in the next 2 days?

I say the odds of us signing Vlad are 3-1 against.

I'd agree, I don't see us getting this done. I still think he goes back to Texas.

Who are the other 3 teams?:laughlol: I think the mystery team is Seattle. It's the only other AL team that Vlad would less like to play for than the O's.

Agreed. I doubt that he's getting more money from another team. I think he knows his market value and will likely decide to take a deal elsewhere.

[Tony-OH]

In the end I think it's going come down to whether Guerrero values playing time over everything else. We can offer him the most at bats, while Texas provides him the best clubhouse atmosphere. If he signs anywhere else it's going to be a because someone offered him a lot more money than the O's or Rangers.

If he signs great, if not, I'm not going to lose any sleep because I never really thought the guy wanted to come here.

LAAA is more likely IMO. Texas would have to trade Young. If he has to split AB with Vlad, Napoli, Moreland and Murphy, there just aren't enough to go around.

[JTrea81]

It's time to stop lowballing Vlad and come up some to get this thing done.

After all the talk at FanFest, losing out would not be a good thing at this point.

It's pretty obvious that Buck wants him on this team as well.

[Sports Guy]

He wants more incentives money.
