wow......tex isnt even signed yet and they are talking about who is gonna be a FA in 3 years!! unreal

but this would be sweeeeeeet

expect this guy being in a red sox uniform in 2011, with the way things are going, the red sox are going to be able to re-sign varitek on their terms which will allow them to patch up their catching until they can pick up this guy.

And Red Sox fans call the Yankees "the Evil Empire"? Give me a break. I hope Barack Obama's "share the wealth" stuff trickles all the way down to Major League Baseball, or pretty soon the Red Sox and Yankees spending habits are going to completely ruin the league for the other 28 teams.

Are we really contemplating who is gonna be a free agent 2 years from now. I can understand next year maybe but 2 years away alot can change.

dude calm down. this is a writer trying to get responces like yours by putting up a story that has no merit or truth. it sonly because the sox need a catcher. if the yanks or cubs or any other big market team needed a catcher it would be there name in the headline. that being said i am 100% conifdent that he will be on the red sox!!!

I hear that the Yankees are eyeing Mauer's son in 2034.

Yes, with bad intent.

Who cares about this. By then the Rangers will be a powerhouse on their way to their 2nd straight ring. It doesn't matter what any team does.

This just in the Dodgers are interested in pursuing Arod when he becomes a free agent in 2017 they think he will be a good fit.

I see you there, Walrus. Stop eyeing my Mauer.

who is the best SS in the league?? cuz when he is a free agent we are gonna get him too.

A few things. First off, the Sox were 76,000,000 less in payroll than NY. Second, the Sox don't spend money like drunken sailors like NY does. Watch the AJ Burnett deal blow up, at 82,000,000.

Bravo, a perfect Red Sox fit..Forget Salty and go for Mauer...Perfect. Great plan...

2011. I think they better look for someone a year or two before then. Varitek just got his Life Alert pendant in the mail.

Currently the Yanks are 38 mil less then last year even with the CC and Brunett signings. Next year another 32 comes off (5 mil buyout to Giambi this year, Damon, Matsui).
I love how a couple of years ago the Sox left out the 50 million they paid to talk to Dice K as salary when making argumens like this.
Somehow I don't think the Royals are looking at these teams saying, "If the Yanks only spent as much as the Sox we could compete".
I wasn't crazy about the Brunett signing either. Too injury prone for that kind of money

His batting average has fallen, and it won't get up.
