NAPLES, Fla. (AP) - Kenny Williams stood in the hotel lobby as general managers started to leave, talked about his starting pitchers and said the $51.1 million fee the Boston Red Sox bid merely for negotiating rights to Daisuke Matsuzaka had given him an idea.
"Instead of trading one of them, I'd rather post him," the Chicago White Sox GM said. "If you can get that much for a guy that hadn't pitched here, what are you going to get for some of the guys in our rotation?"
General managers headed home talking trade, discouraged by the prices being tossed around for a free-agent class lacking star power.
