In the offseason, Ordonez said he'd like to stay in Chicago with a long-term deal similar to ones signed by Vladimir Guerrero (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5737) and Miguel Tejada (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=5888). Guerrero got a $70 million, five-year contract from Anaheim, and Tejada received a $72 million, six-year deal from Baltimore. "We'll put something forth that is not too far away from what he originally wanted," Williams said. "We want to make sure we have some sort of protection in the event that he's not healthy in that fifth year, certainly not taking away any of the overall dollars. I think the framework is there for a deal to be consummated. Only time will tell and only he will be able to give us that indication." http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1833576
(this is the point where 3 people are supposed to flame me by calling me stupid and dense for not realising that there's 3 other posts on this subject)
Cue the flamers...
