I believe Joe is correct that Theo won out. Boras wanted Oswalt money for Dice – Mat or whatever his name is. Oswalt got 5 years for 73 million with a club option for a 6th year to make it potentially 87 million. 6 years for 52 million. Not even close. [...]

Jon Heyman of SI.com is reporting the deal…
Daisuke Matsuzaka has reached a deal with the Boston Red Sox for six years, $52 million, a source close to the negotiations has told SI.com. The deal contains escalator clauses that could bring it up to $60 million.
If this is the case, Congrats go to Theo. He [...]

Heard a report that Dice-K boarded Henry’s private plane to Boston for a physical. Deal must be done or close to being done. That’s ok, because as John B. said he could “suck.” As I said in an earlier post, signing him was mandatory for the Red Sox. Now they are [...]

1. I am also enjoying the Dice-K soap opera. This whole situation could end badly in so so so many possible ways for the Sox: They sign him for the the asking price and he sucks. They sign him for close to the asking price and he sucks. They sign him for what they [...]

I am so enjoying this…. the Red Sox knew what they were getting into, they knew Scott Boras represented this guy. Why? Why does anyone else hire Scott Boras? To maximize the shekels! In this crazy market, Batista is going to get $9 million because he is a known entity. [...]

I too was disappointed. I believed he would get back to full capabilities this season too. He could have been an 8th-inning guy (because you can’t trust Farnsworth or use him everyday). I heard that Dotel wanted to go to KC because he had the best chance of becoming a closer there.

I haven’t posted for a while due to work demands. Good posts from all.
I just read that Dotel signed with the Royals. I am disappointed that the Yankees did not keep him after going through his rehab. My feeling is that he will come all the way back this year and could [...]

The rumor is Boston has offered 6 years $8 M per year. No wonder there is no deal. Miguel Batista got 3 years $27 Million and he’s a 37 year old has-been. Who is Boston kidding.
