Now you really don't have a clue as to what you are talking about.
The Sox could not have traded for Curt Schilling considering:
a.)He f***ing hates Reinsdorf
b.) he had a no-trade clause when he was with Arizona and Theo went to his house at Thanksgiving to convince him to waive his no-trade clause.
Kenny Williams also had a trade setup to acquire the great Mark Bellhorn by giving the BloSox Kelly Wunsch. Right before the trade was made, Kelly claimed he was hurt, thus nulling the trade.
How the f*** could Kenny trade for Pedro considering he took over the GM position in late 2000?
Maybe David Ortiz and Bill Mueller would've signed here in 2003 if we offered money, but you don't know that for sure. We had a first baseman, a DH, and a third baseman. But why let logic get in your way? It's not like these players are robots who automatically play for the highest bidder. If you were a FA, wouldn't you rather sign with a team that had as many superstars as the Red Sox (thanks in part to their fatass payroll)?
What a ridiculous post. :headshake
