When are the Sox going to stop with these garbage 1 or 2 year contracts and actually form a long term strategy?

There are already whispers of "bridge year" again.

It's a business, Yes Mrs. Yawkey

It's more like a Haywood Sullivan move.

I guess it frees up more of John Henry's money to go sign more British soccer free agents.

I guess that if they actually do sign Gonzalez, they replace V-Mart's bat.

But for $2 million per spread over a few years--which wouldn't affect next year's payroll--they could have ADDED his bat and kept Martinez's, and wished Varitek a nice thank-you for all of his years and good luck in a new place.
