You have to wonder if the owners are changing their stance on the free wheeling demands of agents that create massively growing contracts in the MLB and all sports.

They are seeing how many people are turning against high salaries and contracts in other areas of the financial sector so they may be about to apply that same mentality a little more in their own business.

May of these players are being paid million of dollars for failure.

Here’s hoping the Sox still bring back Bay, despite the Lackey layout.

I’d be happy for Damon to play in Atlanta.

I believe Boras has pretty much burned up as many bridges as an agent could burn up. If I were a player...I’d be looking for a team and an environment that helps me as a player...with money being a secondary goal. In the end, Boras is taking a tremendous amount of whatever you get paid...and doing little to really help you.

sacrificed happiness and contentment and all the other perks associated with playing for a world champion team in New York.,

BARF! What a shill! He's a 2-20 slump away from getting run out of town by that thuggish organization. They treat classy vets like him like used Kleenex and always have.

If he wants to play on a championship team, he should find a place with the Rays. Their staff is LOADED with young studs and they have an OF job available.

Serves “Great Guy” Damon right for leaving Boston over a half mil a year.

They Bombers had already moved ahead and agreed to terms with Nick Johnson
Big mistake - I like NJ but he's on the DL more than not.

Smaller contracts, but still tens of millions.

Oh, the humanity.
