Red Sox sign Cody Ross today.

Great pickup! I have ALWAYS liked Cody Ross and still pissed the Marlins let him go. He will become a fan favorite real fast. Works hard, plays hard and humble as can be.

They do spend, that's for sure. That's a lot of (pizza) dough!!

This is why I don't want to hear anyone crying about the big bad Yankees and Red Sox buying championships.

Makes no sense. Who did they buy? They do nothing like the Yankees and red sox. This is the biggest signing ever or this team. Cabrera came here on a trade and verlander is home grown. Stop it already.

 

[DodgerKing]

Where do they move Cabrera?

Well I am thinking Hot and Ready Pizza's wont be 5 bucks anymore

Ah just saw the player moves sticky on the top. Sorry I haven't been in the sports section for a while. A mod can close this since its already being talked about there.

Relax. I'm not complaining, on the contrary actually.

I'm truly happy for the Tigers and their fans. I'm also happy that the competitive playing field is narrowing.

He is now playing for his daddy's team.

I few posts back I wondered if this could happen, did not think it could unless he would sign a one year deal and then get a another chance to be a free agent. Really suprised they made a deal. I know Illitch and Boras have had a very good relationship going back to then Pudge signed
