While the Yankees diddle daddle with their own free agents, i.e. Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter, the rival Boston Red Sox have been busy this week. First they landed a trade for San Diego's powerful first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, now they have a new lead-off hitter in left fielder Carl Crawford.
Crawford agreed to a seven year $142 million deal with Boston, Wednesday to compete with the Yankees who are still waiting to hear back from Cliff Lee on a potential five to six year $140 million deal.
If Lee doesn't come to the Yankees, it will be a huge blow to their off-season plans, and it will give the Red Sox a huge early edge, at least on paper.
