It looks like the Red Sox aren’t go to pay up to extend Curt Schilling’s contract so once the 2007 is done, Schilling will file for free agency. It looks like Schilling’s demand for an extension came as a surprise and I think the Red Sox are being prudent by not offering up another year. Schilling was good last year but he’s also 40 and he’s had his share of injuries.
While Curt Schilling is more then able to motivate himself, the Red Sox might be able to cash in on Schilling’s walk year. He’ll know he’s playing for a new contract so a solid 2007 will go along way toward Schilling cashing in as much as he possibly can.
