December 17, 200421 yr Word in Boston is that the Red Sox are still trying to unload ex-Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are said to be interested in ex-Twins catcher A.J. Pierzynski, released Tuesday by the San Francisco Giants, but for about $1.5 million. That would be less than half of his salary this year. http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress...ts/10426940.htm If this is what the Red Sox are willing to pay, Kenny pay him $3 million a year; for a catcher of his calliber that's a hell of a bargain.
December 17, 200421 yr This was posted in the rumors thread yesterday. NOt everyone looks in the rumors thread. It's too big of a mess. Thanks for posting this info, maggsmaggs
December 17, 200421 yr from a boston paper not minn paper today: A report out of Minnesota that the Sox had shown interest in former All-Star catcher A.J. Pierzynski appears to be premature. As long as they continue to have a shot at re-signing Varitek, the Sox will keep their distance from Pierzynski out of respect for the incumbent.
