I thought the Sox owned NESN, but maybe I'm wrong. Don't recall when that happened.

Lay 'em out.

Nick Cafardo in today's Globe:

• To calculate Matsuzaka's financial impact on the Red Sox, Boras said, he will use Hideki Matsui as a benchmark. Boras said he's heard from Japanese sources that Matsui brings in $21 million per season for the Yankees in advertising and marketing, so he wasn't blown away by the $51.1 million bid.

Of course, that's Boras talking.

And what exactly are these other moves into the Japanese market the Sox have made?

Oops, my mistake. Byung Sun Kim and Hee Seop Choi were both Korean. It is a new market.

Although that just increases the marketing upside, no?
