that is the cruxt of the issue. they think they saved a few bucks, and

but everybody sees that all the sox sweet talk is just so much bull.
it will cost them. they can forget about ever getting the "home team"
discount and if the player starts to weaken due to it their agent
can point to arroyo. its a cutthroat business because the teams made
it
so.
for there to be any loyalty it has to be a two way street.


Do you even look at what you wrote? No one will give them a home team
discount? You have already been proven wrong with Ortiz.

that was before the arroyo deal.




ANd is was reasonable for Arroyo to presume he'd the same treatment. Naive
maybe, but he didn't get it.


But the whole premise is wrong because Ortiz signed an extension this
season. Taking less than he would have gotten as a free agent.
