Renee Unplugged - Blasting Off????

Morning Ladies and Gentlemen.

Expect things to heat up in Boston and New York. When Andy Pettite signed a deal to rejoin the NY Yankees-the loud cheer you heard was from Scott Boras in LA.

Boras who represents Japanese ace Daisuke Matsuzaka knows that Pettite's return to Yankee
pinstripes might help persuade Pettites good friend Roger Clemens to join him.

The Red Sox are counting on Clemens to be available in case their attempts to sign Dice Man
fail. The Sox would get the $51 Million posting fee back they gave Japan to negotiate with Matsuzaka. The Red Sox now risk the chance of Clemens signing with the Yankees before 12-14 the deadline to sign Matsuzaka.

When word filtered in to the Sox offices that Pettite joined the Bronx Bombers you can bet the Red Sox called Clemens and his agents to see where the Rocket was planning to launch . Boston may be forced to increase their offer to Dice Man or sign Clemens right away before he starts
feeling the love from Steinbrenner.

That's what's on my mind this morning - wanna know more? Get those questions in to renee_unplugged@yahoo com - you might just make the weekend wrapup entry.
