Boston Tops Matsuzaka Bids

According to numerous sources including Peter Gammons, the Red Sox have topped the bidding for Japanese star Daisuke Matsuzaka.

The winning bid is rumored to be anywhere from $30-50 Million dollars.

The bid only allows the team the right to negotiate with the player, should they fail to sign him within the 30 day limit he returns to Japan and the Sox would be off the hook for the bid cost.

We will have much more when the deal is officially announced either at 8pm tonite or 8pm tomorrow night as both MLB and Japan officials have been giving different times.
