beneficial bit car close felt good leaving million obviously point signed wreck
I signed at a pretty good discount. They felt going year-to-year would be more beneficial for me financially. ... They felt like I was leaving close to $4 million on the table. But I could be in a car wreck tomorrow. So, at this point in my career, it's obviously benefiting me with a little bit of security.
benefit less mind
That's the only benefit in my mind right now. It still doesn't make it any less disappointing to leave.

anywhere ben both deal felt guarantee lifetime near security stated strongly table time traded
But Jed and Ben both stated to me that there was no deal on the table for me right now, and they felt pretty strongly that I wouldn't be traded any time anywhere in the near future. They couldn't guarantee me security for the lifetime of the contract.
baseball benefit love loved red
It was disappointing. I love being a baseball player. I love the city. I loved being a Red Sox. But it's a business. They do what they do to benefit the team.

The starting pitching hasn't locked it down like it did earlier in the year, so I just tried to hang in there.
running somebody
Even if he wanted me to go in the ninth, I'd have told him to put somebody else in there. I was running out of juice.

Probably as soon as I turn on the TV and see the Red Sox playing and I'll be playing somewhere else.

Boomer obviously threw a monkey wrench in everybody?s plans.

I've become accustomed to it. It's always a soap opera around here, no matter what. If there's not a soap opera going on, it's not Boston.

Tell you what, if they keep doing that all year, I'll be super happy.
accustomed body few good mound time tired
You feel good physically, but your body does things the first time you get on the mound that you're not accustomed to the first few months. So you get tired quickly.
best business chess close definitely gm matter personally pieces player players playing
We're definitely close, probably as close as you get to a GM as a player but it's a business. It doesn't matter how you feel personally about somebody. You've got to make the best move. It's like playing a chess match. You're just pieces on a freaking board, that's what players are in this business. It doesn't matter how much they like you.
