The Braves traded Terry May to the Pirates for saying:
 TM> Irrelevant.  You said they should have given him whatever he wanted.  I

Within reason. Damn, Terry, he wasn't asking that much more than what they 
offered and with what they've been throwing around to free agents (Two were 
supposed to be replacements for the second baseman that they traded away for 
Williams), they could have kept him, Vizciano and Kent.
 TM> So because Detroit and New York overpaid Fielder, the Red Sox should pay

New York had no choice as to what they paid Fielder and I thought we were 
talking about Belle.
