The red sox only have 100 mill committed in salary next year.
Forbes estimated the Reds as being worth 330 million in April. Or about what Jeter and Lee will sign for this off season.
Yeah the red sox never lock up their players. Thats why Beckett got an extention and Youklilis and Pedroia are signed for the future and they skipped arb with Lester and signed him long term.

Thats not what I said. Signing Lester long term now is a good business move but how does that have anything to do with the yankee obligations that I am referring to? How is Beckett's signing or Pedroia or Youkilis similar in any way to what the yanks gave Rivera, Posada, Pettite and Jeter? Yeah, I love the way the Sox did their players that got them a world series after 250 years. Then again, it was one title with that group so they really didn't owe them much. You do have to love the way Ramon was kicked to the curb. And Manny. And Damon. And Millar.
I didnt say 168 million and 213 million are the same. I'm glad you got into Horse training instead of teaching kids to reach. This is 2010 right? The Red Sox are second behind the Yanks with 168 million.
