The Red Sox have reportedly made an offer of $21 million over three years for the pitching services of Kenshin Kawakami. (Or not as it turns out.) According to his agent, he's a semi-hot commodity with twenty-eight teams having expressed interest in him. He's a little guy with nice strike out numbers but I don't really see the interest in him.
Meanwhile down in the Bronx, Brian Cashman didn't rest on his laurels after convincing C.C.'s wife to allow him to play in New York. Nope. He got right back to work: signing a league-average ex-Marlin (from the crop of chewed-up-and-spit-out pitchers they grew down there in the early 2000s) in the form of AJ Burnett to a five year, $82.5 million contract. Because the last pitcher of that ilk they dumped a bunch of money on worked out so very well for them.
