For Curt Schilling, too, these final eight weeks have great meaning. After indicating throughout last season that he would retire at the end of the 2007 season, Schilling has since indicated he wants to play through 2008. He has asked the Red Sox for a one-year, $13 million contract extension and they have politely turned him down, and so far it looks like the Sox have made the right decision. Since July 15 of last season, after all, Schilling is a relatively mediocre 10-8 with a 4.55 ERA. In 164 innings, he has allowed an eye-popping 203 hits and 21 home runs while striking out 130. In his last 24 games, he has won consecutive starts just once. -- Boston Herald

1 year doesn't seem that unreasonable, does it? Maybe they could get him down. But don't be surprised to see the Yankees fly in and give him the year.

$13 million for what is currently a 10-8 record ??? Yeah ... that's a lot. Bring someone up from the minors. If nothing else it'll be less money.

the yankees wouldnt sign him, nor do i think he would sign with them. I also think one year could hurt them. Look at the yanks with moose, they signed him to wat a 2 yr contract last yr and he is killing me everytime he starts. He is just plain awful, he throws the same pitches in the same situation over and over plus his fastball is gotta be in the mid 80's

I think the Yankees would definitely sign him but only if it's for 1 year.
