    It's official:
    The Boston Red Sox will sign free-agent outfielder Carl Crawford to a seven-year, $142 million contract, according to multiple reports.

    The Boston Globe first reported the deal Thursday night.

    Crawford was considered the top position player on the free-agency market this winter.

    Ah well. Let's worry about getting Lee. Crawford won't do any damage against us if he strikes out!

    too much.

    Yeah, if they are at 7, I can't see them losing out. 7 years is a lot, going to be a really old team in a couple years but that is the price you pay. I still want him on the Yanks.

    The Rangers are on their way to Arkansas. They are leaving with a deal or are out I would assume. Cross your fingers the Yanks offer is big.

    I'm not sold on Lee, 7 years is a long time, he's already like 32. I wish we would worry about signing Andy, i'm getting a feeling of Deja Vu.

    I don't like the idea of 7 years for Lee either but that is what it is going to take. It's going to be an old team in a couple years but I would rather have Lee for 7 than 0.

    Same. I feel like Nolan Ryan and Co. have something up their sleeves.

    I just hope they don't do anything insane and go to 8 years, I walk away then. Put more money on the table for 7 years but don't go 8.

    If he goes with Texas, I will partly blame it on the Yankee fans during game 3 of the ALCS.

    On a sidenote -- How many more years does AJ have on his contract? I still cant believe he's in pinstripes.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    It was 5 years? I thought he signed for 4.

    5 years/$82 mil. $2 mil more than what the Braves offered.
