Done deal

... and out of shape are two different things. I also was completely broad sided by the fact that your body doesnt act/react the same way as you get older. Even after being told that for the first 39 years of my life. Now I cant get on Dougie anymore, which sucks, and I am sure the clause will add 15-100 more jokes to Titos Schilling joke book.
$3 million in IP incentives based on IP totals.
$1 million for receiving a Cy Young vote, any vote.

Done Deal: Schilling to Return
Published 11/6/2007 by Jimmy at The House That Dewey Built
According to the man himself, Curt will return to the Red Sox for one more season.
Quantitatively, the deal is outstanding for Boston. There is $8,000,000 in guaranteed money, along with performance-based incentives, as well as (this is interesting) weight-based incentives. I recommend taking a gander at his latest blog post, linked above. He goes into great detail on the structure of the deal, and speaks frankly about the weight clauses.

... will be a part of the 2008 Red Sox when they return in the Spring. Sources, including Schill himself on his Blog, confirmed the deal was done. It was a bit of a bumpy ride to get to this point. When the Sox declined an extension prior to the 2007 season, Schilling looked destined for Free Agency. As the season progressed, and Schilling proved he could still get outs and get into the late innings, both parties began talking in positive terms about another year. Now, the talking is over and the deal is complete. ...

Did Schilling create an ethical dilemma?

As you know by now, Curt Schilling signed a one-year deal with the Red Sox. But what you may not know is that he has a clause in the deal that gives him $1 million for getting just one vote in the Cy Young Award voting.
He explained it all in in his blog.
As an officer in the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, this is very troublesome to me.

How Are the Red Sox so Likable?

... This week marked the second occasion over the offseason that a player elected to re-sign with the Red Sox for less than his market value. The first instance was shortly after Boston won the World Series when Curt Schilling agreed to a one-year deal at a base salary of $8 million plus several millions more in incentives. As Schilling said, and I agree, he could have easily signed for $15 million on the open market, and probably double that in a two-year deal. The second instance was when third baseman Mike Lowell ...
