Money would probably not be an issue. If the Red Sox do nothing but sign A-Rod for ~$30M, their team salary for next year probably wouldn't go up much considering Schilling's contract is finished (~$13M), as is Clement's ($9.5M) and Gagne's (~$6M) and they will probably trade Coco (~$4M) if they can.
Man...I can't believe I'm making a case to sign A-Rod!?!?!?!? I think I'll go break my fingers now so I can't keep typing.

Actually, Lowell's not that old...he only looks old. He'll be 34 next season. I'd like to see him back for 2 more years at the same salary he's making now, which is $9M.
