Hot Stove Trade Talk

That kind of contract kinda distorts the pay scale, don't it. Can't help but generate a bit of "friction". They've been lucky so far bringing guys like Drew in making more than most of their own stars. Lowell settled but how about Beckett with a guy coming through the door making two and a half times what he's gettin'. Just sayin'....

How about this I read it somewhere. With Dr Charles leaving the Sox to go with the Dodgers, will Larry Lucchino follow? Larry has been with Charles forever.
The rumor is once the Sox get the permits to punch fenway out to 38.000 the team will go up for sale?
So signing Santana at any cost would make the team more attractive?

and more expensive, usually before you sell a team you get rid of the assets to make it an easier sale

More expensive yes, but also with a lot of key pieces in place to contend for several years.
