Sox Play the Game, Take Page from Duquette School of Negotiating and Bid Against Themselves for Mr. Martinez

"Even after the principal owner George Steinbrenner met Mart�nez last week, and even after the Yankees were told that the Boston Red Sox had guaranteed Mart�nez a three-year, $37.5 million contract, the Yankees still had not made Mart�nez an offer, according to two baseball officials." -- 11.22 New York Times

NYT source confirms BDD report of Martinez' 4/$60M request "basing his logic on the $15-million-a-year deal Kevin Brown signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1998. Brown was 33 then, the same age Mart�nez is now."
