ESPN insider reported this morning that Renteria was going to stay w/ STL for a home town discount.

Boston Globe is now reporting w/ quotes from Renteria, the he signed a 4yr 40mil deal w/ the Sox, w/ a 5th year 10mil option.

So, he was allset to take a hometown discount (8mil/yr vs. 9mil/yr) but for 2mil more per year, plus an option on a 5th.

Now, this frees up the sox to deal Ramierz (not Manny) I forget his first name, his a SS prospect that everyone wants.

Sox are supposed to be talking to the Marlins about AJ Burnett.

Wait, mlb.com says the yanks are closer to a deal w/ Pavano, and should have one by friday? So the deal still hasn't been signed?

I'll lmfao is the Sox swoop in.

But, I think it's more likely they go for other options.
