Heart-Breaking News: Schilling Disses D-Rays
Published 10/30/2007 by David Chalk at Bugs & Cranks
... , three-time World Champion Curt Schilling dropped some not-so subtle hints about wanting to win his fourth ring right here in Tampa. Apparently, Schilling though does not recall that — or maybe he’s just playing hard to get. In a post on his 38pitches blog he said his first choice is returning to Boston, but he also listed 12 teams he and his family is considering for 2008 if that doesn’t work out: Cleveland, Detroit, Anaheim, New York Mets, Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A., S.D., Arizona, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis, Milwaukee Noticeably missing: T.B.

IndiansTigersAngelsMetsPhilliesBravesDodgersPadresDiamondbacksCubsCardinalsBrewers
Schilling had talked about the idea of going somewhere he could tutor young pitchers, like Tampa Bay. But it sounds like that idea is out and he wants to play for a contender. Not that the Rays can't contend in '08. I'm curious as to why the White Sox and Rockies were excluded, but who ...
He’s Not Interested… Yet?
Published 10/31/2007 by UtesFan89 at Playing For Pride
Well, Curt Schilling recently declared for free agency, as was expected. Fresh off yet another World Series win (this without the aura of a bloody sock), Curt came out and released the list of teams he wouldn’t mind playing for. Of course, he would love to re-up with the Red Sox (or so he says… but how much can you trust athletes now-a-days?). But there are more teams than just Boston . They are… Of note… no Evil Empire (though v.2.0, v.2.5 and v.3.0 all show up). Also, he’d be okay with going back to 2 former teams… the D-backs and the Phillies. MLB Trade Rumors ...

Curt Schilling said that the Boston Red Sox have up to 15 days in exclusive rights to negotiate with him after he filed for free agency. With UFC contracts (according to Adam Swift’s Sherdog article), the organization has up to 60 days of exclusive negotiations and a full one-year period to match any offers made to a fighter coming off of a finished UFC deal. A significant feature of the standard contract is the ...

... So Curt Schilling has posted a list of teams on his website that he'd be interested in playing for next season, and the Braves are one of 'em. Much as I dig the idea of bringing a proven arm like Schilling in, I'm not sure it's the wisest long-term move; the Braves need to go younger and prepare for the future. Glavine I'd like back to close the loop, but a one-year deal only. Atlanta's going to struggle as it is to find the salary to pay Teixeira this time next year, so keeping cash free is a must.
