Earlier in the year, Gino Castignoli, a construction worker at the new Yankee Stadium, tried to jinx the team by burying a David Ortiz jersey 2-feet under the Stadium’s brand new concrete floor. Once Castignoli’s actions were made public, the jersey was subsequently removed by the Yankees and donated to the Jimmy Fund. In 2009, the [...]

Lots of question marks for 2010 Red Sox starters

Well its officially that time again. The time of, "who should the Red Sox sign, re-sign, drop, and trade for" time.There are, indeed, a lot of questions. Here's a quick breakdown:The obviousJason Bay and Jason VaritekThe not as obviousAlex Gonzalez and Rocco BaldelliIn questionMike Lowell and David OrtizThis was the 2009 starting lineup for the most part:1.

Going for the Low Price on Varitek

The Red Sox declined the $5 million option on Jason Varitek, but the catcher can stay with Boston by exercising his $3 million player option (he can make up the difference in incentives). Unless Victor Martinez gets hurt, there’s little chance of Jason meeting the incentives. I wouldn’t mind seeing the captain go to a [...]

What’s Beckett Worth?

Via MetsBlog.com, Peter Gammons discusses the future of Josh Beckett with the Red Sox. But Beckett clearly is looking at the money the Yankees paid CC Sabathia ($161 million over seven years) and thinking he, too, can make between $15 million and $20 million. That will be a very tough call for the Red Sox, not [...]

Red Sox pick up V-Mart's option as part of a busy day

The Boston Red Sox have exercised the club option on catcher Victor Martinez for the 2010 season, but declined to pick up options on both Jason Varitek and shortstop Alex Gonzalez.

Red Sox Pick Up Victor Martinez's Option

No surprise here, though now it's official: The Red Sox have exercised their $7.1MM option for Victor Martinez according to Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe. This was about as much of a no-brainer as they come. The 30-year-old Martinez hit .303/.381/.480 this season, .336/.405/.507 after coming to Boston at the trade deadline. He split his time in the field almost equally...

Trades Of The Decade: Manny To Dodgers, Bay To Red Sox

It's not hard to tell when Manny's unhappy. And a year and a half ago, Manny had had enough. He wanted out of Boston and it wasn't long before he pushed the team's traveling secretary over and told ESPNDeportes "the Red Sox don't deserve a player like me." So it was hardly surprising that Theo Epstein dealt Manny Ramirez on July 31st, 2008. But...

Read: Red Sox and Beckett
