BoSox Blotter

Apparantly Gordon Edes doesn’t sleep much. He was roaming the halls at the GM Winter meetings around 3 AM and ran into Johnny Damon’s agent, legendary Scott Boras. It seems ole Scotty-boy dropped a subtle note that negotiations were going well with the Sox and Damon.

This could mean a couple of things:

Damon is gonna get […]

I was reading, literally a few minutes ago, about trade rumors including everyone from Renteria and Orlando Cabrera, to Julio Lugo and Manny Rameriz. As exciting as some of the rumors are, especially getting O-Cab back, I don’t think any of Edes’ notes will fan out. Perhaps the Renteria to Braves possibility, but […]

They signed BJ Ryan to an enormous deal, and now they’ve added AJ Burnett. Recent years saw the Jays cutting costs in several places. It appears that penny pitching may be paying of now as they’ve outbidded several teams to land 2 of the upper-tier free agents this offseason.

One could say that it’s been all over the news, Manny to Angels - prospects to Arizona - Glaus to Boston. I’ve thought this deal over and over, and I can’t bring myself to even entertain it. I think I’d rather see Manny sit on the sidelines than not play in Boston. It’s hard enough […]

Depending on the price, Millar might be worth bringing back. Last year […]

The saga continues, well over a year since the Red Sox ended an 86 year drought of World Series Championships. Doug Mientkiewicz still claims he owns the ball that was in play for the final out of the 100th World Series in 2004. Apparantly, the courts will have to decide whether Red Sox Nation gets […]

The Yankees appear to have been unsuccessful in their quest to sign free-agent outfielder Brian Giles to a contract. Johnny Damon remains unsigned, and there’s speculation that the Boras document on Damon may be cause for alarm. Needless to say, the document paints Damon as more than premiere, but possibly hall of fame quality.

Two things […]
