Why didn't they agree to a player or a pool of players for a single choice before letting Theo walk? How difficult would it have been to have Cherrington and the boys put a list together? Nice work, Larry.</p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2012/2/12/2793181/more-theo-compensation-talk Scoop1981 2012-02-10T23:42:52Z 2012-02-10T23:42:52Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/texas-rangers/post/_/id/4878114/stark-roy-oswalt-to-rangers-not-gonna-happen">Roy Oswalt Race Down To Red Sox And&nbsp;Cardinals</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>Jayson Stark reports that the Rangers are out of it -- in fact, says it's "not gonna happen" -- meaning it's down to just Boston and St. Louis. <a href="http://www.overthemonster.com/2012/2/9/2786979/roy-oswalt-signing-boston-red-sox-free-agent-rumors" target="new">Boston has the money, St. Louis has the geography</a>; we should know soon, given the proximity to spring training.</p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2012/2/10/2790748/roy-oswalt-race-down-to-red-sox-and-cardinals Marc Normandin 2012-02-09T03:35:44Z 2012-02-09T03:35:44Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/this-just-in/21175636/ortiz-arb-hearing-slated-next-week">David Ortiz Arbitration Hearing Scheduled For&nbsp;Monday</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>Courtesy of Alex Speier, we now know the deadline for David Ortiz and the Red Sox to either settle or let an arbiter decide his 2012 salary.</p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2012/2/8/2786193/david-ortiz-arbitration-hearing-scheduled-for-monday Marc Normandin 2012-02-07T16:21:00Z 2012-02-07T16:21:00Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://mlb.sbnation.com/2012/2/7/2782032/toronto-blue-jays-stealth-contender-al-east">Toronto Blue Jays: Stealth&nbsp;Contender</a></h3> <div class="description"><p></p></div> http://www.overthemonster.com/2012/2/7/2782282/toronto-blue-jays-stealth-contender Bloggy 2012-02-03T15:03:01Z 2012-02-03T15:03:01Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120202&amp;content_id=26556192&amp;vkey=news_bos&amp;c_id=bos">Red Sox Hire Veteran Scout Gary&nbsp;Hughes</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>Hughes has been in the game for 45 years, and most recently worked alongside Jim Hendry for nine years with the Cubs.
