I am impressed. The Red Sox picked up Curt Schilling yesterday after three days of begging him to join the team and waive his no-trade clause in his contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. I think the best part of this deal is the fact that it was done in complete “stealth mode” by the Red Sox front office and it totally blindsided the NY Yankees. I would love to have seen Steinbrenner’s face when the deal was announced, and eventually completed. Costanza, aka Brian Cashman, just did not get it done and once again Theo Epstein, the GM of the Red Sox, has landed the first punch with this one right between the eyes. Now, about that A-Rod to the Red Sox rumor…
Update: We all know how that ended and history will tell us that it was the best for both franchises.
