Peter Gammons is reporting the Red Sox made the highest bid at $42 million, and now it's up to the Seibu Lions to decide if they're going to accept the bid or not.
That's a lot more than I, and most everyone, thought the top bid would be. Frankly, I'm not sure he's worth that much, and I'm wondering if Boston really intends to negotiate with Matsuzaka. There have been rumors going around that Boston made this bid just to make sure the Yankees wouldn't get him. $42 million is one expensive cock-block, though.
