The Red Sox spent 50 million just to talk a guy. They have the money to spend if they want and could have afforded to sign all 3.

They choose not to because they didn't think it was worth it. They were not close to being as in need of those guys as the Yankees were and so didn't need to go crazy to sign them.

But they certainly had the money.

As for the second point, read my post again. SOME above average players (Hughes, Chamberlain etc.) AND SOME aging stars (Jeter, Riviera, Posada etc.). Seriously Moon, can you not pick up such simple things
I read your post again and it still says the same thing. Picked up on your point just fine thanks.
