Magglio Watch 2004

Magglio dismisses rumors that the White Sox contract talks with him have broke down.

Ordonez was surprised to read a weekend report out of New York stating contract extension talks with the Sox "recently fell apart after he rejected a five-year, $70 million (offer)." The 30-year-old right fielder was quick to shoot down the story.

"That's a lie," Ordonez said. "I don't know who said that and why they said I want to go to the Mets. We're still talking. It's a lie. That's all I can say."

I still have a sneaking suspicion that he will be in a White Sox uniform in 2005.
