You are joking? Not only was it coming they were sneaking about it! This wasn't suppose to happen to the end of May. Yankee's in my opinion are extremal desperate right now for good pitching. They put that deal on the table and said take it now or you will never see it agian. He did what a good business minded person would do. It's a very good deal for only a year commitment. The Sox's are not known for big payouts so it was a sound choice and a lot of glory in some way for him. As schilling said "he is good but we do not need him".... GO RED SOXS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
