Interesting. I recall reading how upset they were at losing to the Jays. While I haven't read about the drop in payroll, I'll have to see it to believe it. It's the Yanks afterall. Boston varies year to year in where they are payroll wise (IIRC), so it's still TBD. I also think about the West coast teams. Bo grew up in Florida and has always seemed like a warm weather guy. I do wonder about SF specifically. The Yanks still seem like the team that could break the bank on him. In a copycat league now looking at the Jays success, every team who can afford him will probably be looking at that bat on ball kinda guy. He's elite in that regard. He'll come expensive when the Jays have to match.
