Sure, he considered Papi would go elsewhere, but I think Papi going on ESPN and making statements that he is disenchanted with Boston bolsters his position. If he wasn't in a contract year he would not be doing it. He is negotiating.
Everybody will forget about the fact that Papi said something nice about the Yankees organization as soon as he signs again with the Red Sox and proclaims his love for the fans as his reason for coming back. See ya Lackey.

But if you think Lucchino hadn't already considered the possibility of Papi going elsewhere,including NY, then I think you're selling him short.This is amateur hour stuff. As for the comments, they come with a cost of good will, too high a cost in my opinion. Papi already has helped mute any outrage over his departure. See ya Papi.

It's about staking out a favorable position in the negotiation. Papi wants Larry to think that him going to NY is a real option. If Larry believes that Papi would consider this, it helps Papi's position in the negotiation. Whether or not Larry buys it is another thing altogether.

They don't matter in contract negotiations. He's trying to make Sox management and the management of potential suitors think he is willing to leave. That puts him in a better bargaining position. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Tom Salemi Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 5:35 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: oh eff you papi Yanks have jeter and arod to fill half the DH slots.
