The Rockies weren't willing to put up more than 14 to 17 mill of Helton's contract and wanted at least 1 top prospect in addition to Lowell and Tavarez. Glad this deal didn't go down.<p>&nbsp;So often the rumorsyou hear are the fanstasies of one side of the negotiations or the other. The Rockies putting in 40 mil was likely coming from Theo, and the Red Sox giving up LOwell, Tavarez and their 2 top pitching prospects&nbsp; was likely coming from the Rockies. </p><p>To quote the Rockies owner &quot;I've been in this business 15 years and about 1% of these deals get done&quot;&nbsp;</p>

I guess all the reports coming from the Sox were right that they didn't see this working.&nbsp; And then on the other side the owner of the Rockies was quoted yesterday as sayin it'd be done.&nbsp; Poor steve sommers, wrong again.
