By the way, shouldn't the Sox have had Bob Stanley and Bill Buckner modeling those jerseys? |
I don't see how Angelos has any say so in the matter. The gorilla in the room is Boston.. and I don't think he can outspend the red sox.
If he does..kudos. We don't have to have Tex. From what I hear though, Tex isn't that concerned with going back home. He wants to go to a contender..and even the Baltimore GM said they were handicapped when it comes to that.
Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw the jerseys.. Buckner.
edit: Burnett is going to the Yanks. 5 years, 82.5 million. Seems like an awful lot of years on cash to spend on someone who you really don't know how healthy they are going to be.
Boston isn't interested in Lowe from what I hear... and obviously they weren't interested in Burnett that much. Theo won't go over 4/$40mil for a pitcher in free agency.
