$20 Ballpark Beer - It's Coming!


Thank you, Boston Red Sox. Thank you for the $51.1 million that you bid to win the rights to sign Japan's Daisuke Matsuzaka. His American Agent says 26 year old Matsuzaka is worth $100 million for 5 or 6 seasons. The Red Sox agree. They want the $51.1 Million to be included in the $100 Million...the agent doesn't.
Who is Daisuke Matsuzaka? A Japanese right handed pitcher, 26 years old with 204 games under his belt and a record of 108 and 60. His ERA is 2.95 and he has 1,355 strikeouts in those 204 games. I don't think he's worth it. The reality is that if he passes the Red Sox physical and gets his $100 million, then he is indeed worth it. The market for MLB pitchers is always changing. If an owner is willing to pay a player $20,000,000 a year, then that becomes his value. Just remember, sports fans, the money is really coming from us.
