It wouldn't surprise me if Boras started that rumor. The Seibu Lions have $51 million coming if a deal is reached and they can give as little or as much of it to Matzusaka as they want to get a deal done. The more Boras gets them to believe they might get nothing the more likely they are to fork over a nice chunk of that $51 million to get it done. If he can swing a 4 year - $50 million deal from the Sox and get $20 million from the Seibu Lions then everyone should be happy.

Really? I read an article a couple days ago saying they could, the writer must not have been aware.

It's true! Somewhere I posted the antics of Boras...when he talked to Boston he wanted 3yrs max contract for the kid. That is a violation of Japan/MLB posting rules...as everyone knows that you're married to a club contractually for 6yrs.

I just found an article on usatoday.com about it. Seems too big of a risk to take waiting two years for a little extra money but you never know with Boras.

This makes me want to puke. The arrogant and steroid laden Barry
Bonds signs 16 mil one year contract. I hope this idiot doesn't break
Hank Aaron's homerun record. This record will be tarnished if he wins.
Also Roger Marist is still the single season homerun record holder.

My congrats go out to Bobby Knight for overtaking legendary Kentucky
coach Adolph Rupp for 2nd on all time college basketball win list. With 4 more wins he will take over former great UNC coach Dean Smith all time wins of 890. What an accomplishment. A lot you don't like coach Knight, but give him credit for this record.

Roy Williams present present coach of the Tar Heels is 1 win away
from 500 career caoching victories.
