The Red Sox Hot Stove has burned out. Dave Dombrowski recently noted that the free-agent market has slowed down significantly the past two years. He's in favor of a free-agency deadline of some sort to spurn action. Dave Dombrowski is right. With that in mind, here is some recent interesting MLB news, and how it affects the Red Sox.

Gambling has become more and more acceptable in society in light of the Supreme Court decision to strike down the 1992 law that prohibited sports betting in many states.
