Instead of paying stupid amounts for a hitter how about Bryce Brent for that power hitter they need ? Get the payroll under control for a change so they can pick someone up next summer if they are needed.

Should have a "z" on the end of his name Brentz.
Oh thank God. I thought another game was blown by the bullpen

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
The sox made a 5 year offer to Martinez, does anyone think this is a good idea?
No, unless it's around 20m a year.
I wouldn't waste my time focusing on what the Red Sox management pay, or don't pay a player.
FACT...They still owe Sandoval $48.65 million
FACT...They still owe Manny Ramirez $18.2 million
FACT...They still owe Rusney Castillo $50 million
Stupid deals made by stupid management.
Doesn't matter what they pay, or to whom, money doesn't equate to guaranteed future performance and it never will. And, I might add, it is a mis quote to say they are "paid per year"...the season is only 6 months long...April to September, after that, if they make the playoffs, more money. Do the math, its crazy for playing a kid's game for about 3 hours. Well, there is Spring Training, how painful it must be to report to Florida and Arizona while the rest of us freeze and just play some fun games.
I really could care less what the Red Sox do with John Henry's money...I can't control it, have no input, no do I derive any benefit from these decisions. Baseball isn't, nor will it ever be the game it once was.
That is even higher than he is worth but I guess it is in line for what these overpaid bozo's are getting. No one is worth that kind of money.
Hey Steve...Happy New Year.
My Trip to Australia and New Zealand exceeded expectations. We only had 3 days in Australia, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart Tasmania, all beautiful. The 2 weeks onboard was great, shore excursions were wonderful as well. People were all very friendly and gracious...all worth every penny. Can't say much for the flight, 14.5 hours from LAX to Sydney and mercifully only 13+ on the return. We flew home to Atlanta in one day, beginning in Sydney with a 4 hour layover in LAX...a very long day.
Stay well my friend, don't let the Red Sox moves bug you...just remember the good days.

I'm glad you had a great time on your unforgettable trip. I had my fun when I was younger. The Red Sox really don't bother me as it is not my money as you say. They do make some stupid moves though.
