Of course, there's one way to practically guarantee the Red Sox becoming the new villains of baseball, and that's by signing Alex Rodriguez for a billion dollars or so.
People around the Red Sox don't rule it out, because the club is one of the few in baseball that could pay a player the $30 million a year agent Scott Boras has told the world he expects as a minimum.
With the contracts of Curt Schilling and Mike Lowell expiring, and one year left for Manny Ramirez, the Sox potentially could be ridding themselves of plenty of money. Sox owner John Henry has made known his fondness for A-Rod, and team president Larry Lucchino always has been intrigued with Rodriguez since the Players Association refused to allow the trade with the Rangers in December of 2003 to go through.
