Let the Bidding Begin
Today is the first day of free agency. Time to make the rich get richer and to make a bunch of 20 years olds rich for the first time. Must be nice.
You'll probably not see Peter post for a bit as a moving car ran into his leg(sorry for the HIPPA violation Peter) the other day. He is on the short-term DL and will post when he is feeling a bit better. I'll attempt to cover both sides of the rivalry in the meantime. Get well soon pal.
The big names on the market are Cliff Lee, Jason Werth, Carl Crawford and for the Yankees anyway, Derek Jeter. I'm sure we'll hear either the Yankees, Red Sox or both teams linked to these players.
I'll post as news hits.

Sorry to hear about Peter. Hope all is well.

Andy--I was wrong about Vald's contract that the Rangers didn't exercise. Thought it was 6M but it was 9. Still, 12.5M for Ortiz but not 9M for Vlad? I don't know about that.

I'm not sure what to think about that. It'll be interesting to see what Vlad gets for next year. Either way, Ortiz should consider himself lucky at $12.5mm.

Rice/Andy - seems kinda obvious to me, the Sox need Ortiz more than the Rangers need Vlad. Supporting hitters around each is very different.
