Mark Buehrle Rumors: Monday

By Tim Dierkes | December 5, 2011 at 6:38pm CDT

The latest on free agent left-hander Mark Buehrle…

  • An NL executive speculated to Jon Heyman of MLB Network (Twitter link) that the first team to offer Buehrle four years might get him. Meanwhile, Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio tweets that another one of the 14 teams interested in the lefty just extended a first offer.
  • The Twins, Nationals, Marlins, and Rangers are in on Buehrle, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, but the Twins' offer is not as strong as the others.  The other teams are believed to be in the three-year, $36-39MM range.  Yesterday, we learned that Buehrle is the Nationals' top target and the Marlins have made him a strong offer.  The inclusion of a no-trade clause will be a factor.

    when kenny williams is out of the picture on players (especially his own guys) he comes in and pulls off the unthinkable move out of no where. so i would not be surprised to see buehrle back in a white sox uniform for 3 years and 34 million dollars.

      I hope. With all the talk of moving Danks and/or Floyd, they are really going to cut that Rotation short. Buehrle is a fan favorite. I was at the game where they announced his extension in 06. The crowd was louder than any home run. Seeing him anywhere else (ESPECIALLY Cubs, Twins or Tigers) would kill.

      I agree, James, except maybe a little more $$.  There is no reason for Buehrle to take a cut in pay from $14M/yr when he doesn’t figure to decline much in the next 3 years.  I think we will trade Danks, and sign MB to about 3 years for $40M, and give him the no trade clause (maybe a limited one).

    It sounds like the suitors and money is dropping. At this rate he might end up back with Chicago.

      That would be good move for the Twins. If he does, I’ll have to learn how to spell his name right.

        It’s like Bueller, except scramble the 2nd half and substitute an ‘l’ with an ‘h’. Does that help?

          If this is any indication, I typed his name correctly after I read that. We’ll see how well it works when I need to use his name more often.

            I just remember that the “r” is the very last thing before the “le.”  Then the u and h and e come almost instinctively.

      It would be pretty cool.  But I don’t see any reason why he would want to…
      1.) take an inferior offer…
      2.)to play on a team that he has hated…
      3.)which is coming off of a 99 loss season.

      Why would he do that?

        I’m sure the Twins will make a formidable offer and I’m sure Buehrle doesn’t hate them.

          They made an offer, but it wasn’t “up there” with other offers. We’ll see, Joe said he’d help lure free agents to MN.

    A four year contract would get Mark Buehrle? I didn’t think he wanted to play much longer? I am sure he will get a good contract, but where he lands is anyone’s guess.

    If the White Sox lose him, they can only blame themselves

    No way in hell do I see Buehrle signing with Minnesota. Unless he recieves a Jason Werth type contract.

    Otherwise, that’s a downgrade

    If it’s true that the offers are about 3 years and 36 million…he’s coming back to the White Sox. Earlier rumors had more per year prediction. The White Sox can match that offer + maybe even add a year, and he has no trade protection by default because he’s a 10-and-5 guy. The one year they would have trouble coming up with the money is 2012, but after Danks, Floyd, and Quentin are dealt (yes, I think all three will be traded), there’s no issue. Next year, Peavy and Pierzynski ($23 mil combined) both come off the books.

      agreed, except I don’t see both Danks and Floyd being traded.  My guess is that however it plays, 2 of the 3 of Buehrle, Danks, and Floyd will be in WSox uniforms in April.  Now, August is a different question…
