I disagree. Pedro gave Boston everything. Nomar too. The new owners treated them poorly. This will be a one championship team.
I do believe the Mutts are the wrong team for Pedro. But when you've not been shown loyalty, why not go for the bucks? Screwest thou before thou screwest thee!
The Sox were better off without Nomar down the stretch. They'll be better off without Pedro. As much as I respect what he did for the Sox, there's only so many innings he has left in him. He's 33, but his arm is 39-1/2....
The Sox offerec him three years and they were wise not to offer more. I don't blame Pedro for taking the extra year and money that comes with it, but there's no need to trash the team when many would say that the three year deal they offered him would be risky enough.
Nomar wasn't treated poorly either. He was sulky and demanding more than he was worth (he wanted as much as Miguel Tejada). The ownership's decision to trade him was their best decision during the season.
Nomar was a great player in Boston for many years. Unfortunately he was a cancer in the clubhouse and many players went on record following his trade and said that the chemistry on the team was significantly improved after he was gone.
Pedro gave Boston everything including an ego the size of Jupiter. In the end, that was his downfall here.
Why can't Pedro just shut his mouth, take the money and run?
