THE EDGE GOES TO THE RED SOX

RED SOX 2004/2005 OFFSEASON "GREATEST HITS" FEATURING "THE EDGE"

"SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY"-Pavano chooses Pinstripes over the Olde Towne Team.

"WITH OR WITHOUT YOU"-David "Gout" Wells is in the fold; Pedro joins the Mets.

"IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY"-Edgar Renteria takes the cash and joins the world champion Boston Red Sox; Deal is $10 mill. annually for 4 years with a year 5 option.

"THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE"-Sox set their sites on flamethrower A.J. Burnett; he tells family and friends that he has already discussed a longterm deal with Theo; acquisition is contingent on a Schillingesque trade-and-sign agreement. Arroyo, prospects could be part of the deal.

FOR LOVE OR MONEY??

...Martinez couldn't understand why the Red Sox were initially reluctant to give him a three-year deal when they had essentially done the same for Schilling, nearly five years his senior. The Sox had inherited the final year of Schilling's contract when they traded for him, then, as an inducement for waiving his no-trade clause, gave him two more guaranteed seasons and a vested option for a third.
For the life of him, Martinez couldn't understand why Schilling, despite his advanced years, was worthy of a longer commitment from the club. More recently, he chafed when the Sox pointed out his 2004 season featured the highest E.R.A. and opponents' batting average of his career.
So when the Mets moved to a fourth season, Martinez had his "out." In New York, Martinez again will be the staff ace, again be the pitcher around which a rotation revolves...

-Sean McAdam, PROJO(12/15/04)

LET THE BABE REST IN PEACE

It was not lost on Red Sox fans the night of Game 4 of the World Series that Renteria wore No. 3 for the Cardinals - the same number Babe Ruth wore for the Yankees - bringing a measure of closure to the so-called Curse of the Bambino.
The Red Sox appear to be collecting Ruthian talismans. Wells wore 33 as a Yankee to doubly honor Ruth, and he held a No. 30 jersey at his news conference on Tuesday. Boston's No. 3 currently belongs to infielder Pokey Reese, whom the Red Sox have offered arbitration.
