Default Red Sox pay $11 million to rid themselves of Edgar Renteria

Was that a terrible free agent signing or what? Renteria led the majors with 30 erros in 2005 and struggled at the plate. They trade Renteria and $11 million in cash for PROSPECT Andy Marte. Only the Red Sox and Yankees can afford such blunders and have the cash to recover.

Thank you,

You realize the Red Sox got something in return for this?

How much do you think Andy Marte is worth? Very highly rated prospect (easily tops in BoSox organization now), controlled by the Sox for his pre-arbitration years.

Maybe the price tag is a little under 11 mil, but not by much.

Chill out man, you just got the best 43 year old shortstop in the game. The glass is half full.

Yep, I think I'd rather have Betemit + Marte than Renteria + $11M. Unless they are going to sign some phantom free agent that can hit leadoff and close games with that money.

They didn't give up Betemit. Also, with Chipper locked up til '09, Marte wasn't going to play here anyway unless he moved to the OF.

Granted, we could've done a lot better than trading for Renteria....

When I first heard about this, I said to myself, "This doesn't seem good, but if anyone can cast it in a good light JoA can."
