God damn, Rays. Those fuckers know what they're doing

Yeah, that's a good deal for both sides. Moore gets more money now than he would have otherwise and the Rays won't owe him very much if he winds up being a bust--and if he's good they have some of his arbitration years locked up at much less than he would have received.

Yeah, he definitely gets a bunch of security, $14 million of security but it could really turn into a bargain if this kid turns out like he is projected to. Good for them.

That team's not going anywhere. Well, they might go somewhere, but not in the standings.

Yeah, just a tough division for them to be in but they really have to be one of if not the smartest team in baseball. Between their scouting and their ability to pull off this kind of deal, its pretty impressive.

great move on the angels part...kinda came out of nowhere but that just increases the value of the dodgers tv deal

Will that get done after the team is sold?

not sure...the bankrupcy judge ruled that McCunt can sell the rights before selling the team...fox is gonna appeal that...it's all really confusing

Yeah, I haven't been able to follow that part of it all that much. Would imagine the new owner would like to negotiate the new contract, if possible.

i read that cuban and magic's group want to control the tv rights sale to finance the purchase of the team...or something like that

I'd say the Rays are ahead of Boston right now. The Sox haven't done anything to improve their team so far unless you consider replacing Francona with Valentine an improvement. They lost their closer and haven't replaced him yet. The Rays have a solid rotation and it will be even better if Moore is with the team all year and is anywhere near as good as the scouts say he is. If they find decent players to plug in at SS and 1B they'll have a solid lineup. It won't be as good as the Yankees or Red Sox but they'll have a decent lineup with some excellent young pitching. As a Yankees fan I'm more concerned with the Rays next year than the Red Sox.
