Crazy rumors going around in Boston

[Lefty]

Looks like A-Rod to Boston for Manny could very well happen. If that trade goes thru then Nomar could be shipped out to LA for Odalis Perez and some young guys. Then the Red Sox would ship Perez and maybe Damon to KC for Beltran.

I can't wait until next week's winter meetings. It should be very active.

Well, a New England friend put it this way - if they have Pedro, Curt, Lowe, get a solid closer, get A-Rod, with or without Beltran, and don't have to move too many valuable team guys like Varitek to swing A-Rod, and having Francona - then if they DON'T win the WS, nobody alive will doubt that there is a very real curse, and they will have to tear down Fenway, consecrate or exorcise the ground, and build a new stadium elsewhere.

This seems like a huge load for Boston to take in, Paying A-Rod $20 mil PLUS $5 mil of Manny's contract. They could then ship Nomar off for a good Left handed bat. How much better is A-Rod over Nomar? Worth $10-15 mil more a season? I'm not sure.

No matter what moves the red sox make they never will be a lock for the world series. didn't anyone learn anything from this years playoffs. The only lock is that the red sox and cubs will find some unbelieveable way to blow there chance. But if they make these deals they will be an intertaining team to watch.
