Sox blow it up!

[Nigel Tufnel]

They have to be paying some of Crawford salary. No team in their right mind would take on that contract

Crawford's salary might just be the price you have to pay to get Gonzalez.

Dodgers might not be in their right mind. I have said it before, weeks ago, new owner fever.

(I am guessing the Dodgers assume at least 90% of the payroll obligations going forward)

[The Wedge]

I'd say the Dodgers are both a little giddy, and throwing the dice that those guys need a fresh environment.

Well, when their payroll approaches a couple billion, Magic can always sell his top secret HIV patent.

[Scrat1]

I was really hoping the Red Sox were going to be stuck with Crawford.

Why would the Dodgers be dumb enough to take on Crawford's contract?

[PaulFolk]

Why would the Dodgers be dumb enough to take on Crawford's contract?

Because they have new owners who just want to throw around cash recklessly. They're like a kid in a candy store.

[Frobby]

Well, that was decisive. Good for them. They have enough money to rebuild quickly.

Meanwhile, our six remaining games with them just got a little easier.

There are still the questions of how much chowdah Boston will be required to send out to L.A. to cover payroll and also if his Bud-ness will approve the deal.

Just a little, maybe. They may be thinking it's pay back time.

I am torn between two replies.

1- Of course Bud will approve it, this isn't the NBA.

2- You don't think Bud is going to say no to the Red Sox and the Dodgers do you?

[mcinww0]

I dont know whether i like this or hate it. On one hand the sox shouldnt be good till 2014 at the earliest, but on the other they cleared an ungodly amount of salary space. I was kind of fantasizing about those contracts sinking them for years to come, but I guess now I'll have to hope that none of those prospects pan out.

And how could the dodgers be this dumb? To actually give up prospects for these overpaid bums? If the sox ate half the money I still wouldnt give up prospects for them.

There's no way he just had Tommy John surgery in the Beckett contract is enough

[weams]

This is amazing. "The mighty Andino" has destroyed RedSox Nation. Wow.

[weams]

I know where John Henry is going to spend the money he saves.
