Saw where the Red Sox just signed Lachey from the Cal Angels as well as Mike Camerson, a decent outfielder.
The Phillies signed Halliday from Toronto.
The Tampa Rays have a 3 year plan on salaries, and it is not to exceed 70 million for the entire team. They are now at the 70 million level. Next year they have 4 ball players whose conract expires, Pena and Crawford are 2 of them. Guess wherethey will end up? Boston. Why, the Yankees are loaded with Teixera at 1st and they just signed a pretty good outfielder to play centerfield for them. So, the Red Sox will pick these 2 Rays to bolster their chances of staying evern or surpassing the Yankees.
The Rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
