Butch Stearns quoted Scott Boras as saying that during the Mark Teixeira negotiations Boras went to the Red Sox and told them what the Yankee’s were offering and asked if they wanted to counter and the Red Sox declined. Butch threw in his two cents and said “Do you know how you can tell Boras is lying? His lips are moving.” HA HA Butch, now how do you know Boras is lying? Did you get any inside info? Did someone from the Sox say anything? Or, are you just blurting something out with no facts. My guess is that it is the latter. My question is why would Boras not go to the Sox? His job is to get every last penny for his client that he can. Now I do not know for sure, but doesn’t common sense say that Boras would have gone to the Red Sox and asked if they were willing to go above 8 years $180,000,000

Shawn McAdam, today on the Big Show said that the Mets are out of the Jason Bay sweepstakes because of the massive loses Fred Wilpon took because of Bernie Madoff. Umm Shawn, Fred Wilpon was one of only a few people who made money from Madoff. This was news about a couple of weeks ago. The WSJ said that Wilpon made $48 million dollars from his investments. So I don’t think this would exclude the Mets from Bay.

It just seems that some of the media are either too lazy to check their sources or too stubborn to change their beliefs even though the facts are right under their noses.
