Not to be Clintonian here, but Lucchino could be speaking the technical truth if he's defining the team's budget beyond those line items used to calculate the luxury tax. But the question was clearly asked in the context of the luxury tax, and if Lucchino was instead trying to make a sleight of hand by referencing the team's global budget, then he's a very bad man.

But if he was referring to the luxury tax threshold, then it begs the obvious question: WTF have we been doing all winter?

The obvious answer would seem to be, "losing at chicken."

Lucchino sounds absolutly pissed off on MLB Radio.

Saying "highest payroll in history of the Red Sox" multiple times.

"PEOPLE NEED TO LOOK AT FACTS."

"Just goes to show you can't please sports writers."

"I can't wait for Monday, we have differing opinions on Ortiz in this marketplace, so lets see what happens."

"Varitek and Wakefield have both been invited to spring training, it's in their hands, they need to make a decision on retirment." <-- I hate this. Why can't they cut the cord? If these guys show up they become nothing but distractions.

No hard #s yet, but it looks like the Sox agreed to terms with all their non-arbitratrion eligible guys
