Some sort of 100 million toss out. Don't the Yanks have to at least match any offer the Sox might make? There are worse things to get stuck with on the off chance the Yankees actually have a spending limit on him.<br /><br />Although, if you're a new GM wanting to put a big mark on your team, or an ultra-rich owner wanting to win a fanbase back, I can think of worse moves than stealing the ace (and only) pitcher from your main rival and leaving them in a pathetic heap.Section 36https://www.blogger.com/profile/18194098940017348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-3837175650015679012011-10-26T15:23:32.456-07:002011-10-26T15:23:32.456-07:00Even after the September train wreck the stripers ...Even after the September train wreck the stripers are still afraid of the sawx?<br /><br />I love the new reality!!<br /><br />Ha ha ha!hrstrat57https://www.blogger.com/profile/02872963136012546386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-23214228616201716392011-10-26T15:10:12.401-07:002011-10-26T15:10:12.401-07:00I don't see him coming to boston, and I don...I don't see him coming to boston, and I don't want him.

Plus, even though Lackey and Dice-K won't be pitching next season, they'll still be on the Red Sox payroll to the tune of ~$25M. I can't see Cherington's first big act as GM being another massive contract to an aging pitcher.mattymattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291132296368578632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-79034306994986564632011-10-26T11:13:54.152-07:002011-10-26T11:13:54.152-07:00I assume more years/money.

But, he can't pitch without media constantly screaming in his ear if he plays for the MFY or the Sox. <br /><br />Beyond that, if it's not the Sox/MFY, who would pay him? The Dodgers? The Cubs? The Mets? It's a ridiculously short list if one even exists.Pokerwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087637119337918275noreply@blogger.com
