All day yesterday, I was terrified that my blog's first bonafied prediction (Wagner to the Sox) would prove wrong.
However...

I love the dispute. He wants the Sox to promise NOT to pick up his $8M option and NOT offer him arbitration. The articles don't say how that was resolved.
However, is there really a risk that the Sox will pay him $8M next year to pitch in the 8th inning? Or that they might offer him arbitration (where his salary is based, in part, on his previous salary)?
If they offer him arbitration...he should take it! Why not? $10M to pitch in low leverage situations for a contender. He can set the lefty save record in 2011!
BTW, do you think if I talk enough about Wagner being traded for two nameless prospects, I can make the Johan injury disappear? Nahhh, me neither. But it was worth a shot.
