So much for this being a mix-'em-up, re-establish-the-balance-of-power kind of offseason. So far we've seen Curt Schilling and Mike Lowell re-sign with the Red Sox, while the Yankees have kept Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and A-Rod (who was robbed of a unanimous MVP selection by two writers from Detroit, according to Rob Neyer). Those guys were on a short list of the most sought-after players and they're not going anywhere. Neither is Mets second baseman Luis Castillo (not that anyone cares all that much).Barry Bonds has a better chance of playing for the same California Penal League team Charlie Sheen pitched for in "Major League" than he does of finding a suitor in the AL or NL. And Tom Glavine is going back to the Braves for one year and $8 million dollars. Who said pitching was going to be hard to come by this year?
The biggest "bombshells" so far have been Edgar Renteria to the Tigers and the Orlando Cabrera/Jon Garland deal. And unless a big name gets traded between now and spring training (Miguel Tejada?, Miguel Cabrera?, Johan Santana?) the most we have to look forward to is where Torii Hunter and Andruw Jones end up and for how much.
Thanks a lot guys. What happened to greed and testing the market?

I agree, it's pretty boring and next year is just going to play out exactly like this year. We might as well just skip it.
you mean with the red sox winning the world series?
I probably wouldn't want to skip that, it sounds like fun.
