Thanks to Coco Crispix Attacks for coming across this… The list of teams that our family has talked over, that we think would be a fit for next year, should we not come back, are pretty much teams in cities we agree would be ok for our last year, and teams I think have a legitimate shot at being in the post season and/or World Series.

He’s Not Interested… Yet?

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.

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 ...

Wednesday war room: UFC winning the PR battle?
FightOpinion.com — ... . Here’s an interesting thing to consider about the issue of free agency regarding players in Major League Baseball vs. fighters who fulfill their UFC contracts. 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.

Waving The Bloody Sock At Turner Field?
Right Down Peachtree — ... 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. It's part of the reason behind the ...

Curt Schilling Interested in 13 Teams, Including Cubs
OUT OF RIGHT FIELD — ... Schilling is a smart pitcher and I don't see any reason why the Cubs shouldn't at least make a run at him this offseason.

The Red Sox should keep Curt Schilling

Cameron Suspended, Schilling Mentions Braves
Atlanta Braves — ... Curt Schilling wrote in his blog that the Braves are one of the twelve teams he would consider pitching for next season besides the Red Sox.

Brewers! Brewers! Keep Turnin' Up the Heat! — Posted by Steve We usually see one or two of these in the off-season: A semi-premier free agent who the Brewers pursue with an outside shot of signing. Last year it was Jason Schmidt (whew, dodged a bullet there). In recent years it was Troy Glaus and Matt Clement (another bullet dodged). Suppan was one of these as well, although he’s the first one they actually signed. The first one this year is Curt Schilling. Schilling recently posted a list of teams he’d consider on his (wordpress, represent!) blog 38 pitches, and the Brewers made the first cut. Now today Haudricourt ...
