Dice-K: Was it Worth the Hype and Money?

By ⋅ May 2, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

Daisuke Matsuzaka cost the Boston Red Sox over $100 million, with $51.1 million allotted for the posting fee and another $52 million for the six-year contract. With only 49 wins in 105 starts to go along with a 4.25 earned run average, the $100 million seems like a little bit too much for that production. [...]

With J.D. Drew’s horrific contract and passionless play finally vacating right field at Fenway Park, newly appointed general manager Ben Cherington must decide who should man the territory near Pesky’s Pole for the 2012 season.

Signability and the 2010 Red Sox Draft

By ⋅ August 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

While baseball’s selection day doesn’t have the same collegiate star-power of the NBA Draft or the glamor of the NFL draft, its importance is equal. A lot of Red Sox fans may be unaware of how masterful the team has been at the draft process the past few years; but these are the same people [...]

By ⋅ March 2, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

After the drama that led to his trade at the deadline in 2008, Manny Ramirez continued his career in the National League by re-signing win the Dodgers on a two-year $45-million deal. This was a far cry from the four-year $100-million deal Manny and super-agent Scott Boras imagined when Manny’s remaining options were voided as [...]

Adrian Beltre Signing Completes Red Sox Defensive Overhaul

By ⋅ January 6, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

When I first heard that the Red Sox signed Adrian Beltre to a one-year, $9 million contract with a 2011 player option for $5 million, my first thought was that it was a perfect deal for both parties involved. On the one hand, the Red Sox fill a gaping hole at third base, but only [...]

Red Sox Spend to Contend

By ⋅ December 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Since John Henry, Tom Warner, and Larry Lucchino came to own and control the Boston Red Sox, the team has lived within a budget. Granted, this budget has allowed the team to maintain a higher payroll than most teams, and has at times allowed the team to spend enough to outspend all but one franchise: [...]

By ⋅ December 13, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s looking more and more likely that Jason Bay will not be roaming left field for the Red Sox in 2010. “We don’t agree with their evaluation of the player,” agent Joe Urbon told Foxsports.com’s Ken Rosenthal. “Frankly, we have other offers on the table that are of greater interest to Jason.” Bay reportedly rejected [...]

By ⋅ November 20, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Five years, $75 to $80 million. That’s likely what it will cost the Red Sox to retain left fielder Jason Bay. The 31-year-old, now officially a free agent, reportedly passed on a last minute, four-year, $60 million deal Thursday as Boston’s exclusive negotiating window inched shut. In honor of the lengthy, costly contract agent Joe [...]

Who Are Your Most Hated Sports Figures?

By ⋅ August 22, 2009 ⋅ One comment

With the announcement this week that the third incarnation of Brett “Farv-ruh” is upon us, I found myself re-evaluating my feelings on the sports figures I loathe most. I quickly found that Minnesota’s No. 4 has vaulted to No. 1 on my list. I mean, come on Brett…go away already! I’ve never seen anyone who has reached [...]

Ramirez, Boras Turn Down Dodgers Offer

By ⋅ February 3, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I’m not really sure at all what Manny Ramirez or agent Scott Boras are thinking. The Dodgers offered Manny a chance to be $25 million player for one season, and then re-enter free agency next year when the economy is in better shape. Plausible right? Why should the Dodgers offer more? No team has publicly [...]

His agent, Scott Boras, is consistently seeking a 4-6 year deal for $25-30 million per year, but is having trouble finding a buyer due to the state of the economy.

By ⋅ January 26, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

According to WEEI.com, the Red Sox have offered Jason Varitek a two-year contract, and put a deadline on the negotiations.
