01/30: Schilling: I Won't Play in New York

Posted by: Patrick

"I will play in 2008," were the words 40-year-old Curt Schilling told Red Sox Nation this morning on the Dennis and Callahan show.

His contract with the Red Sox ends after this season. ...

Would he consider pitching for the Yankees in 2008?

"It wouldn't be in New York,” Schilling told host Gerry Callahan. “No. I could not make that move."

That's fine with me.

Sure. Cashman puts 20 million in his face and he'll be singing " New York, New York " in no time. Money talks. That's why Schilling is coming back in 2008 after he said last year that this would be his last year, but after he saw that the Yankees threw 16 million in Andy Pettitte's way and convinced him to un-retire, Schilling's eyes opened up.

Do you guys really think that the Yankees would be any more interested in Schilling than he would be in them? The guy is not Roger Clemens. He is 38 or 39 I believe and he is starting to wear down. I don't think he'd get a bigger deal anywhere else than he'd get in Boston anyway.

I agree with Seamus. I wrote the above as an hypothesis. There is alot of hypocrisy and greed in baseball. I was just making a point that money talks and that baseball is a business. If the Red Sox offered Schilling 15 million and the Yankees 20 million, Schilling would forget about his loyalty to the Sox and sign with the Yankees, but I know that Cashman isn't stupid and he won't offer that kind of contract again like he did with Randy Johnson, and besides, Schilling has never been as good as Johnson.
