In a completely stunning move, free-agent short stop Rafael Furcal has turned down the Oakland Athletics' contract offer, which was said to be a 4-year deal worth $35-40M. Oakland was known to be Furcal's best suitor, but will now continue on with Bobby Crosby at short.The economy is really affecting players like Furcal, as even a top-flight short stop like himself can't seem to grab the money that his side commends. The Giants seemed to be in the market for Furcal, but decided that giving Edgar Renteria $9.5M per year was a better decision.
