The Boston Americans, after trialling it unofficially during ’07, officially changed their team nickname to the Red Sox.

The MLB had cut the Reserve Clause in 1907 and introduced Free Agency, with players eligible for salary arbitration after three years’ major league service and full Free agency after 10.

So there were a lot of transactions in the offseason. Here are some of note:

C Mike Grady signed as an FA by the Superbas for 3 years / $10140
OF Fred Clarke signed as an FA by the Naps for 3 years / $9660
1B Harry Davis signed as an FA by the Red Sox for 1 year / $2700
P Mike O’Neill (formerly with us) signed as an FA by the White Sox for 2 years / $2360
P Jesse Tannehill signed as an FA by the A’s for 1 year / $2300
1B Fred Tenney signed as an FA by the A’s for 1 year / $1700
P Jerry Nops signed as an FA by the Browns for 1 year / $1640
1B Dan McGann signed as an FA by the Superbas for 1 year / $1440
C Jack Warner signed as an FA by the Giants for 1 year / $1440
SS Bill Dahlen signed as an FA by the Browns for 1 year / $1340
3B Wid Conroy signed as an FA by the Highlanders for 1 year / $1280
OF Tom McCreery signed as an FA by the Tigers for 1 year / $1260
1B Jack Doyle signed as an FA by the Phillies for 1 year / $1240
OF Chick Stahl signed as an FA by the Giants for 1 year / $1240
OF Sam Mertes signed as an FA by the Doves for 1 year / $1200
C Harry Bemis signed as an FA by the Tigers for 1 year / $1160
P Ed Doheny signed as an FA by the Reds for 1 year / $1120
P Doc McJames signed as an FA by the Tigers for 1 year / $1080
1B Charlie Hickman signed as an FA by the Tigers for 1 year / $1040
OF Algie McBride signed as an FA by the White Sox for 1 year / $1040
P Cowboy Jones (formerly with us) signed as an FA by the Cards for 1 year / $930

We go 10-8 in ST, with reliever Charlie Rhodes picking up a niggle that will keep him off the mound for a week.

Interestingly, the pundits have picked the Naps to head the AL this season with 90 wins, while they fancy the Cubs to rebound from a disappointing ’07 to take the NL by a couple games from the Giants, with us in third 6 GB at 82-72.
