In a move that sends a lightening bolt through the AL East, Carl Crawford has agreed to a seven year $142 million deal with the Boston Red Sox. This move has to send shockwaves through the Bronx, because with the acquistion of Adrian Gonzalez and now Crawford the Sox are clear the class of the American League East.
Many thought that Angels were the leading the pack to retain Crawford’s services however, GM Theo Epstein refused to concede the point that they were out of the hunt.
It is now become imperative that the Yankees sign Cliff Lee and hope Andy Petitte returns for another season. Acquiring Lee and the return of Petitte would give the Yankees two solid left handed starters to deal with the left handed hitting Gonzalez and Crawford.
It is expected that Crawford will bat in the two hole with 2B Dustin Pedroia moving down.
