This would be a GREAT deal for him. Going to Boston, which in getting A-Rod, Shilling, & Foulke have all but sealed their spot in the playoffs. If I'm Maggs.. I'm at home screaming c'mon guys.... pull the trigger!!!
I'm sure he's in there somewhere. Total control.. I doubt. Especially if LA is involved... and I would wager a tall bet that JR is more involved in the Nomar deal due to Arn. JR and Arn worked out Albert's deal one on one, and Frank's deal as well.
Sounds like he heard it from Dan
FWIW, Rome is reporting the same. I don't think that part of the deal is an issue.. it's what happens after that's being worked on.
The big BBQ (that myself and the AOL board planned last year) is going to be during the Cleveland series this year (not sure of the dates). But it's in the books if you want to plan on coming then. It will be on Saturday.
I don't think Kenny is in this too much. Jim's daughter mentioned that his mother-in-law is back in the hospital which is why he came home from the meetings early. No idea if it's true. Just what she heard around the neighborhood.
