It's about time that the Red Sox got something for a guy they knew was going to walk at the end of the year. The same people who are crying about Nomar being traded are the ones who bitched about getting nothing for Clemens, Mo Vaughn and Wade Boggs.
Nomar showed what he thinks of the Red Sox orginization when on Saturday, Lucchino called him, told him they were discussing a trade which would send NG to the Cubs and asked Nomar, "How is your health?" Nomar replied, "It's fine NOW." According to Sean McDonough, Nomar was going to ask for extensive time off in August anyway.
Nomar was a great player but the fact is, he didn't want to play for this team any longer.
