※ 引述《dadaHOPE (笨奇 來生再結緣)》之銘言： : July 19, 2006 : Beckett gets new deal http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSox/view.bg?articleid=149522&format=&page=1 By Tony Massarotti Boston Herald Just before the All-Star break, the Red Sox were in Tampa Bay when skipper Terry Francona made the rounds during batting practice, as he often does. Francona wandered over toward shortstop, where Beckett was standing, and the two had a conversation that went something like this: Francona: How ya' doin', Josh? Beckett: Pretty good, skip. Francona: Hey, let me ask you a question. Beckett: Fire away. Francona: Do you want to stay here? Beckett: Whaddaya mean? Francona: I mean do you want to re-sign with the Red Sox. Beckett: Sure. Francona: How much are you looking for? Beckett: I don't know, maybe $10 million a year? Armed with that knowledge, Francona strolled into the clubhouse following batting practice and struck up a conversation with general manager Theo Epstein. Francona essentially asked Epstein the same questions - namely, did the Red Sox want to re-sign Beckett? - and then asked the all-important question. Francona: What do you think he's worth? Epstein: Probably about $10 million a year. Francona: The two of you should talk. --
