Carroll On Matsuzaka

Will Carroll has spoken to several Boston sources on the topic of signing Daisuke Matsuzaka.  Those sources are said to be pessimistic about Boston’s chances at signing him.  I have read the same in various Boston newspapers.

Carroll also adds that Matsuzaka will not be eligible for free agency until after the 2008 season, should he return to Japan.  The bold letters are from Carroll, to help correct the misinformation that Matsuzaka would only owe the Lions one more season.
