I’ve generally been praising the Dodgers for not bidding against themselves in the Manny Ramirez derby, but as Ken Davidoff notes, they’re pretty much out of maneuvering room: This has not quite been Scott Boras’ finest week, but give the man credit. He can run a free agency like no other agent out there. Remember […]

Tom Glavine seems to misunderstand his value and leverage at this point in his career: Tom Glavine still hasn’t received the financial offer that he’s seeking.

A decade late and several hundred million dollars short, Wayne Huizenga has regrets: Outgoing Miami Dolphins majority owner H. Wayne Huizenga bid an emotional farewell to his favorite franchise Tuesday, but for the first time admitted he might have broke up the Marlins a year too soon after they won the 1997 World Series. “We […]
