ESPN radio reports 4 year for $56 million

1. i'm a sox fan, but good riddance to a bad whiner

i can't believe that any team (other than the mets) would sign pedro to a guaranteed contract for that much at this point in his career. the sox can use that nearly 13 million a year to upgrade their pitching.

12. Isn't That What You Sox Fans Said About Clemens?

Three Cy Youngs later, he's still going strong.

7. Gammons said on the Dan Patrick show

that it was a done deal, and that Renteria would go to the BoSox.

I am waiting for something to happen (hopefully of a positive nature) with by Cubbies.

9. I was hoping for the Cubs to get Kolb

But he went to Atlanta. How much did Renteria get? (I would much rather have Renteria than Nomar.) However, Beltran is still out there, so....

[Wisc Badger]

10. I would not have minded Kolb eithter,

as for Renteria I don't remember how much but I think it was in the high 30's for 4 years or so.

[AngryAmish]

11. cheaper than Nomar

I would have gone w/ Renteria.

8. No dammit!!!

Why must the Mets keep signing over the hill players with bloated salaries??? Didn't Mo Vaughn teach them anything??? ARGH!

[MaineDem]

13. There's a rumor Manny's going to the Mets, too
