Not sure if anybody heard about this but Kevin Millar is a 1b/of who played with the Florida Marlins last year well he basically got screwed by his former team, which should come as no surprise to you JMK as the owner is Lorie (ex owner of the Expos). Millar is good player hit .300 20 Hr last year but the Marlins were looking to cut payroll and get some money so they told him they were selling him to Japan and he had no choice. They said nobody wanted him and he had to go to Japan. Well he believed them, and agreed, they then put him on Waivers which is usually a formality, but the Red Sox claimed him. At first he refused the claim but then he decided he wanted to play with Boston. Boston then tried to work out compensation with the Japanesse Team, well MLB steped in and said they couldn't do it he would have to be posted and teams would have to submit bids.
The Japanesse team though wouldn't post him, well Millar then decided that he wouldn't play with them and said he was not going to Japan if he had to he would find other work (part of it his wife is worried about the possible war and being in Japan during it). Well finally the Japanesse team has decide to release or post him it gets confusing about that here is a story on it

First off it shows that Lorie is a jerk I mean he lied to this player because they were several teams interested him, including the Red Sox (the Red Sox have been trying to get him for months) but he was luried by the money that this team gave to him which shows he is got to be the worst owner in baseball. Second really MLB needs to let Boston and this team work out a trade, it would be good for both teams otherwise this poor team will get shafted they lose out the money because of the jerk Lorie, Boston is willing to give them the money they had to give up and a player in return why not just let them do it??
