Edgar Renteria says Giants' offer is 'a total disrespect'

[JonLP24]

ORLANDO -- Edgar Renteria understands the best part of his major league career is over and baseball is a business, but he still hoped for better treatment from the San Francisco Giants after helping the team to the World Series in October.

San Francisco offered a one year, $1 million contract to the 2010 World Series MVP.

"That offer from the Giants was a lack of respect. A total disrespect," Renteria told ESPNdeportes.com Thursday from Colombia.

"To play for a million dollars, I'd rather stay with my private business and share more time with my family," he said. "Thank God I'm well off financially and my money is well invested."

1. Edgar should be LUCKY he's getting a million dollars

he only played 72 games, hit .276 and had only 3 home runs. He had a nice run in the playoffs, but Edgar's career is over.

2. He's been GROSSLY overpaid the whole time he's been in SF.

I don't think the Giants owe him a thing, and if I were their management, I wouldn't take him back if he agreed to play for free.
