[0:00]" First of all let's say get some news Curt Schilling out maybe for the whole season who knows and so the Red Sox have. Dug deep a guy with a famous name but he hasn't played well we didn't play at all less your Bartolo Colon. "
[0:11]" Yeah I you know he's he's always been hard thrower at -- the kind of guy that. You know the Red Sox have seen so many times the Indians -- that you feared him -- you know he's on the that it -- downside of his career he can put it that way you know -- some of the Red Sox players. In last night they said that he you know we always throws -- it seemed like he throws -- art but. The reports on them aren't too cute good I think it's more of insurance policy bring him in the camps he would he can do would it be. Does anything you put them at the Taka per month with promises to get a look see when it comes up and you know -- not -- salary if he does come opt out of one of those low risk high reward factors and -- the works it works great if not then he just kind of move."
[0:50]" What is the talk around the the Red Sox about Curt -- did they legitimately expect him to come back."
[0:58]" I don't know its -- you know I I think the Red Sox are hoping that they can do what they do with Pedro Martinez said in his final year. With a Red Sox you know or where his his rotator -- they knew was kind of hanging on by a string the public until bill but the shoulder in the army everywhere around that they get six innings got -- vote which they were able to do almost the entire season -- that perhaps this season with Curt Schilling if they can use that. You know Soviet that's great. If not then you know he just kinda like Bartolo Colon you you know kind of have to move on so I think that they try in the best way that they can hand but. I don't know my gut feeling that something is going to happen with Curt -- sooner rather than later and I don't know it's going to be good news but. You know it's just an instinct that the more than that some."
[1:41]" And as these guys in comeback queen award from from the Diamondbacks -- is that there Randy Johnson has -- bullets again."
[1:47]" Yes others no question and I think it -- with a disappointed think for Curt Schilling is that he felt that exceeded. You know this this surgery with doctor Craig Morgan he felt that he could have pretty good chance of coming back and throwing well. In August September and October. In a two other doctors that looked out of said they didn't think so so that was the that's the biggest problems so I think that's just kind of a mess right now you hope will work itself well you know sometimes on the road."
[2:10]" Meantime none of this uncertainty about at least one of the starting pitchers as having any effect on the volume of people. Coming to city of palms park is a story on the front page of the globe this morning. That not only can you not get a ticket to get in there but they're charging 46 box behind home plate for spring training."
[2:30]" The its you know its its Red Sox nation and its finest and -- just you know that the players I'll talk about it they had Michael on our show last night he was just saying you know. He has I was in Florida and you would kind of play in front of fans and he you couldn't get and the common than you come here and it's -- you know at an April night where it's kind of rainy and raw you're all like and a bomb -- you know I don't want a lot of plated -- step out into the you know not to appeal this. It's jammed and that's the same thing down here at spring training the first day of the work out. -- looking around like what is going on they were all treated like rock stars they're all chanting MVP to Mike -- and you know -- Brock started with Johnny Damon -- of the team and the fans come from all over the place they spend their school vacation last week it was Massachusetts this week its New Hampshire down here and you can't get the united peopled by -- particular all the time -- spring training games in -- what is going on here I just think it's a great thing for. For our area that's great thing for baseball."
[3:24]" I was going to ask you by the way is going to be near the box office -- argues a couple. You don't want -- a -- listen in any fan base that has a crowd watching equipment truck leave early in the a weekend morning -- is -- a rabid fan base. But the Red Sox are spending money for example -- going to new three year contract extension -- make him one of the best paid managers in the majors and a million bucks a year."
[3:51]" At a long -- coming at you know it's it's by the Terry Francona said that it's the best job he's ever had but it's the hardest job he's ever had and that kind of sums up the passionate intensity of the Boston Red Sox and it's well deserved for me no matter what happens from here on out. At the reward for everything that Terry Francona has done for this franchise and now so EP you know has problems or what have you. So be it but the what did the contract he's getting these states in the three years eleven point 25. You know with the buyout clause of what have you that the reward for two World Series championships for the first time in 86 years players love him. The organization loves him it's all good right now for Terry Francona and it's well deserved and it's finally here it took a -- Africa happen."
[4:33]" And if I'm not mistaken the Red Sox won't allow a manager or anybody in the coaching staff. To use representative to have an agent he had to do this himself."
[4:43]" He did but they -- bail him to bring an agent at at at the last minute you know prior contract they did not allow it. I think I think out of respect for Terry Francona they a lot of this time and it was a hard negotiation to -- at times because he's not the only the first -- committee he's not constituting his -- point the players have seen that carrying it you know Terry that way but they allowed him at the last minute to bring in an -- it got done. And now they're able to move on so good for the Red Sox for for real I think that this guy this is a great manager."
[5:13]" Yeah this sort of let's sort of a concession by Lucchino mean Lucchino takes pride in being able to be a hard dead drive a hard bargain no matter what. Aspect of the business had."
[5:21]" Although the funny thing is is just picture radio you walk into a room -- sit down with the John Hendry Tom Warner the keynote Theo Epstein and they say okay Terry what you want. And then you know what what if you what reaches the half forgetting that -- too optimistic you know the project has one of World Series championship in 86 years we went one couple years later would win again in I think it's pretty GDP can be used you know what what are they going to come back. With what to allow Terry come back with at that point and say okay the issue here will work of the ballot get a"
