"In Japan, he's known as the national treasure," Boras told some three dozen media representatives -- nearly all representing Japanese outlets. "Here, he will be known as Fort Knox."

Red Sox offer $48.9M/6yrs and Matsuzaka/Boras ask for $66M/6yrs.

"They all took off together," Red Sox owner John Henry said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

That was the whole email? Why don't they tell us everything he said? [/bored news-hungry internet hound]

OH NO

David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 18:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder....$10.5 for 6 is my guess.

The free agent market may be out of control, but I can't really accept the notion of DM earning less than Gil Meche.

No Time Before Time (Barry Barry), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Consider this is a deal for a dude that's never pitched in the majors, tho, and it sorta makes more sense.

David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:12 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG 2 HOURS TILL TOUCHDOWN

David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

wheeeee!

"Daisuke Matsuzaka has reached a deal with the Boston Red Sox for six years, $52 million, a source close to the negotiations has told SI.com. The deal contains escalator clauses that could bring it up to $60 million."

David RER (Frank Fiore), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 20:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, they're gonna make us wait just a bit longer. Henry: No Deal Yet

g000blar (g00blar), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

6yrs/$52m is a fucking steal even with the $51.1 to Seibu.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know about a 'steal', but it's certainly a LOT more easy to live with than the ridiculous numbers the ass-clowns in the press have been throwing around for weeks.

December 13, 2006
Plane has landed
By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff
BEDFORD, Mass. -- The plane carrying Daisuke Matsuzaka, Scott Boras, and the Red Sox contingent has landed at Hanscom Air Force base.

Tom Werner, Scott Boras, Theo Epstein, Larry Lucchino, and Daisuke Matsuzaka were all seen leaving the plane and getting into trucks.

The caravan is going by police escort to Mass. General Hospital, presumably for Matsuzaka's physical, which is required before any deal is finalized.

What if he's no better than, say, Josh Beckett? Doesn't this press seem a bit ridiculous?

Michael (Oakland Mike), Wednesday, 13 December 2006 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

What if he's no worse than KING Felix or Dontrelle? Will he get an SI cover? Enquiring minds want to know... *I* want to know!

It's possible, but I don't think it is likely.

If DM is no better than Josh Beckett then spending 51 million just to talk with him is ridiculously exorbitant.

Oh wait ...

No Time Before Time (Barry Barry), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:30 (seventeen years ago) link

OTOH, they basically signed the guy for $103M over six years, which is less than what the Dodgers gave to Kevin Brown eight years ago. It's approximately what Barry Zito is worth in this market, and DM could be a better than Zito over the next six years.

what if, etc.

No Time Before Time (Barry Barry), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:33 (seventeen years ago) link

a better pitcher than Zito ....

No Time Before Time (Barry Barry), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, but because of crazy luxury tax rules and the ability to market in Japanese half of that $103M isn't even "real" money and it might even be recoupable (which you can't say about the $100M that Zito is going to get.)

i was reading something about matsuzaka being worth millions and millions more in endorsements just by virtue of playing in the majors.

As opposed to...?

Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 14 December 2006 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea what the solution/replacement is, but the Red Sox completely broke it (the bid-winning team is in such a ridiculous position of strength that the agent/player has no choice but to sign for whatever draconian amount is offered.)

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 14 December 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll bet matsui's cell phone is blowing up today with other yanks players asking how the [fungible] you hit a gyroball.

Also:
In a related story, I just stared at that picture for about forty-five minutes without moving or blinking. I think I could heal the sick with my erection right now.

Donkey Kong New York (Lee), Thursday, 14 December 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I mean no one, no where honestly thinks that this guy is worth less over the next six years than Adam Eaton, Ted Lilly, Vincent Padilla, et all (and Matsuzaka is younger than all those guys) yet somehow he's going to be making significant less than any of them is.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 14 December 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Devil's advocate:

Matsuzaka is making much more than King Felix, Dontrelle, Brandon Webb, etc. and he's making about the same as Johan Santana.

So why should he be making much more than those guys?

Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 14 December 2006 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

1) All those guys are younger than him (I think.)

2) They will be free agents in less than SIX YEARS and able to negotiate much more lucrative contracts than the one he just signed.

3) They are eligible for arbitration in the interim and/or able to sign lucrative contracts through their arb years.

All that said, I won't argue that the system isn't screwing those guys too.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 14 December 2006 17:47 (seventeen years ago) link

DM is on the market now. If Johan, Webb, Dontrelle, Felix, and Boof were all on the market now, they'd be getting ARod $$.

Donkey Kong New York (Lee), Thursday, 14 December 2006 17:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Also Matsuzuka is not making as much as Santana (see here: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/blog_article/si-matsuzaka-signs-for-52-million-6-years/)

"Daisuke was then handed a jersey with the No. 18 -- the one last worn by Johnny Damon."

Couldn't even afford a new jersey. . .

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 14 December 2006 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

It's funny how some of the Boston mgmt. and reporters are calling him "Daisuke" vs. the Japanese reporters who refer to him as "Matsuzaka-san"... is he gonna pull an "Ichiro"?

Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 14 December 2006 22:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I prefer to think of it as a "Madonna".

Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 15 December 2006 15:02 (seventeen years ago) link

there was a contest in one of our local papers...giving Matsuzaka a nickname.

my favorite was: Slanty McBride

Jerseys are in but it looks like they mixed up the home/road jerseys:
