...posted by Matthew Cerrone...

In a post to his blog, 38 Pitches, free-agent RHP Curt Schilling says talks with the Red Sox are “moving,” adding, “I am feeling very confident that we will be able to finalize a 1 year contract.”

According to the Associated Press, citing ‘a person familiar with the talks,’ an agreement could be reached within a few days.

Last week, in a post to his blog, Schilling put the Mets and Phillies among 12 teams he would be interested in signing with, while stating that the Red Sox remain his first choice.

Over the weekend, in an online column for Newsday, Jim Baumbach made a case for the Mets to sign Schilling by writing a letter to Pedro Martinez, who is rumored to have had a prickly relationship with Schilling while both pitched for the Red Sox.

good news, he wont be a Phillie.

i def see it as a good signing

I see it as a good signing from a Yankee perspective. Hopefully he blocks Bucholz who is much better than him.

Yeah, Epstein will let that happen.

Bucholz hasnt even pitched a full year in the bigs yet and suffered from a tired arm. No rush making him a full time starter.

I wish he was. He's been very hittable the last 3 or so years and would get killed going to CBP.
