    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    I don't suppose it says much that we don't already know, but this is pretty good summary of Montgomery's market; mostly the curse of being reliably good but not potentially great.

    Offseason rumors

    I like Montgomery, I very much hope that we get him, but E-Rod has been a reliable starter for the past 10 years, their careers are fairly comparable, even over the last three years, they are the same age: to me if ER is worth 4/80 today, in a Boras-free world JM is maybe worth a little more...

    Offseason rumors

    I don't disagree, but if we just needed an innings eater shouldn't be have just gone for someone like E-Rod at a fraction of the cost, and likely comparable value?

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    I found clicking on the "Buy Tickets" link in the mail I got at 5:11am this morning worked best. Still slow, but I got there.

    RedSox and Yankees will be in London next year on June 29-30.

    As a native Brit who first came to Boston in the early eighties and settled there in the summer of '86, I'm pretty excited about this. I expect London Stadium will make a terrible baseball venue, and the prices are outrageous (though apparently pretty much in line with what will be charged for...

    Choo to Rangers

    According to a link from the Dallas Morning News (which I can't find a way to post for some reason), $130m in TX is worth about $144m in NY when you take into account the tax issues.

    Cashman's Cano Contract Conundrum

    it is interesting that it seems the Sox valued Ells at max 5/100, the market at 7/153+; the Yankees Cano at 7/175 max, the market 10/240. Both contracts already look likely substantial overpays in terms of true market value, but other than the fact that the Sox and Yanks valued their own assets...

    Report: A-Rod banned through 2014?

    In some countries, not least the UK, Mr. Rodriguez would be looking at a libel suit and quite possibly jail time for what he came out with today. The man's out of his mind, or at the very least completely self-obsessed.
