NJ.com's Yankees Blog, Pride Of The Yankees, reports a crazy scenario that is rumored to be developing that could make Daisuke Matsuzaka a free agent.
Okay guys, here's what I've heard through the grapevine on this…The Red Sox will hold out trying to lowball Dice-K [Matsuzaka].
And when I say hold out, I mean to the point where it becomes it was
obvious just a blocking manuever to keep him from the Yankees. He wants
$15Mx3Y, sox are offering 8Mperx4Y, “oceans apart”. I've been told that
if the Sox knew the Mets had the second highest bid ($38M), higher than
the Yankees ($32M), they never would have bid $51.11 to win him. That
comes from a very good source. Moreover, what I heard from the same
source who is close to negotiations that what will happen is that
Selig, Boras, and Seibu have a deal in place, where Boras pays Seibu
$25 mil (1/2 the Red Sox bid) and he owns the rights to Matsuzaka, and
puts him on the market BY X-MAS for the highest bidder, and Selig has
signed off on it…

This sounds way too crazy to be true, but I wanted to post it just out of appreciation for the very creative mind who came up with this wild scenario. JJ Abrams has nothing on this guy.
