Mazz: Jordan Montgomery signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks for one-year and $25 million. One effing year. $25 million. 1 year. There was a time over there when the Red Sox said, “we don’t like the long term deals, we don’t like the blockbuster contracts, we don’t want to make those sorts of commitments to guys because they all end up being bad contracts”. Now, I’ve been saying 90% of the time that’s true. Every once in a while there’s that deal that is not a bad contract that’s a blockbuster. The Manny Ramirez contract was not a bad contract. The Pedro Martinez contract was not a bad contract. Those guys were worth the money. Randy Johnson, when he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks, I think won the Cy Young Award all four years. So there are those exceptions on those blockbuster deals. And the definition of the blockbuster deal has changed over time. But you’re telling me now the Red Sox aren’t even going to sign Jordan Montgomery for one-year and $25 million? - Tony “Mazz” Massarotti, yesterday, 98.5 FM The Sports Hub, Boston
