And the Cs would appear to agree. Seems to me that everyone going off the 
deep end about this and how it just shows more stupidity by Cs management 
are ignoring the Bulpett (who usually does know what he's talking about) 
article where he said that these deal rumors are pretty much a creation by 
Seattle and those around the unhappy, 'always wanted to play in Boston so 
lets try and make it true' Baker: Note the word creation, which has 
implications beyond just saying the sources are on that end.

Which sounds like the Cs are also looking for as many sweeteners as 
possible to even consider it. And considering it still doesn't equate to 
doing it.

Makes a change from "what are they thinking of" with Oliver Miller, I guess....
