And they should have been treating Nomar like Jeter. The guy is fucking money and all of Boston knows it. He had a few bad games in the playoffs (and was almost the goat in Game 7), but he's the man and deserves better than he's getting.

Nomar's agent is a putz and they misjudged the market. He was offered $15 million before the season, and wanted $17 million. He's never going to get that much now -- he'd be very lucky to get $12. Since he was holding out for more, he's got no business complaining that the team lacks loyalty. He wanted it to be business, so it's business. Hopefully he will recognize this, but to blame the team in these circumstances is f***ed up. They're checking out their other options in reaction to what he's said.
