Would ti have been better if the Red Sox had gotten Tex? Seriously, it's nearly as silly.

Yes, because I cheer for any team that consistently beats the Yankees.

I wanted the Angels to get him. Or someone outside of New York/Boston. Just once I wish a free agent would show some imagination and not sign with the red sox, yankees or mets. Why has nobody signed with the Rays? Granted, their revenue streams aren't even close to the NY/Boston teams, but they won the toughest division in baseball, beat the Red Sox in the ALCS, and they don't make any noise in free agency? That fanbase doesn't NEED another reason to get excited, but they'd be more than happy if you gave them one.

What would you do? Make the most money you could, or "show imagination"

Seriously. Don't blame players for doing what is smart.

Wonder if the Yankees are still in the Manny hunt. Last I heard they were thinking of 3 years at $25MM per.

That's crazy. I can't see them signing him now. they were only signing him if the Red Sox signed Texterra (sp?)

The funny thing is that such over the top greed and excess like this is going to end up forcing MLB to add a salary cap and/or 100% revenue sharing.

It's just like the greed on Wall Street - the guys took it too far until it blew up, and now increased regulation will put an end to the exorbitant excess.

I don't think there will ever be a Salary Cap in baseball.

Never.

Their players union is too strong.

If the other teams start folding up like crazy then it will happen or attendance just bottoms out elsewhere...

I'd like to see Dayton Moore's initial reaction to this type of stuff. Laughter? Kick something?

Just wait for the uncapped year in the NFL.

It'll be just like this except it will be the Patriots, Giants and Cowboys doing this.
