    Red Sox Red Sox finally Release Brad Penny

    Penny supposedly requested his release. The Red Sox dump Penny to make room for new setup man (and Jonathan Papelbon's bane) Billy Wagner.

    Will any team in contention pick up Penny and shug the mid-5 ERA and horrific starts off due to the AL East effect? Or is Penny destined for small market clubs as a reclamation project?

    someone will pick him up since he was claimed. I wonder who it was...probably a National League team. They should have just let him go on the waiver claim. Now they have to pay him instead of letting another team pick up the tab. Then again, money is not an issue for Da Saux.

    It only matters when they're outbid by the Yankees on guys like Teixeira, then it's woes me woes me we don't have the resources to compete with the Empire. Hahaha.

    Brad Penny needs to be signed by that Celebrity Boot Camp show on VH1. Perfect place for him.

    Said Bowa: "Is this the same Penny that never went to meetings, that came late, left early, was never in shape, always had an excuse when things didn't go right, didn't help the young kids at all?
    Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

    Why didn't they just let him go on waivers when he was picked up in the first place?

    Why did they even sign him at all?

    apparently, the Yankees won the claim on him and the Red Sox, being as "proud" as they are, refused to let the Yankees take a bum like Penny of their hands.

    Don't you know? It was a low risk, high reward signing. The Red Sox had nothing to lose!!

    Penny should sign with the Marlins. It makes sense for him and the complete situation of it probably would allow hin to post league average or better numbers.
