On a bitterly cold day, the big signing is PH extraordinaire Greg Dobbs getting a two-year $2.5 million deal. Scott Boras minion Ryan Madson didn't bite on a three-year $12 million offer. So the Phillies can cross one arbitration eligible off their list - only about two dozen more to go.
"That team is about to walk through a mine field," an AL Scout told Jayson Stark, who previewed the arbitration dealings. The column isn't fun reading for SoxandPhils fans. It could get ugly with Ryan Howard, Jonathan Papelbon, Cole Hamels and a whole bunch of other Phillies.
And it looks like Jason Varitek is ready to come crawling back to the Sox, which is good because we haven't been able to land another starting catcher. He can't hit anymore, but he's better than having nobody crouching between Josh Beckett and the umpire.
One final word: Brrrr. It looks like the Weather Channel made a mistake when it says it will be 9 degrees tomorrow morning.
