Boston and the Yankees both desperately in need starting pitching, so the price to dance with Darvish will be steep. I just don't see AA chucking 100 Mil on him or anyone else at this point. I thought the telling sentence was "we like a lot of guys at the right price" and I think think the price will be right.

I'm guessing we'll be very much in the mix on Darvish. Provided his health stands up, he's the rare guy you don't worry too much about in terms of his decline phase, as he's just 25. You'd be getting his peak years (iirc, Bill James' research showed pitchers averaged their peak at 30-31).
