So either the bigger remaining free agents are asking for too much, or teams aren't offering enough, I guess.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
In HOF news, the only players currently tracking above 75% on ballots with 33% reported are:
Beltre - 98
Mauer - 82
Helton - 82
Wagner - 79
Sheffield -76 (last year)
Sheffield probabably doesn't get in and it'll be a really close call for Wagner and Helton too. I think Mauer gets in and Beltre is basically already in with how the votes have trended.
