Tony Massaroti in The Boston Herald reports that the gap between what the Red Sox are offering for Daisuke Matsuzaka and what Scott Boras wants is still quite large.
According to sources, the
Sox’ initial proposal was roughly half of what the pitcher’s agent,
Scott Boras, proposed. The most likely scenario is that the Sox
proposed somewhere in the neighborhood of $7-8 million annually and
Boras came in at roughly $15 million.

The
length of the contract also could be an issue, particularly if Boras,
as has been suggested, is lobbying for Matsuzaka to become a free agent
after three years. Under the terms of the agreement between MLB and
Japanese baseball officials, the Sox would own Matsuzaka’s rights for
six years.
