Remy Report: Remy to return to the booth on Friday
By: Alex Speier

According to a post in The Remy Report, announcer Jerry Remy will return to the NESN broadcast booth on Friday, Aug. 21, to broadcast the game between the Red Sox and the Yankees at Fenway Park. Remy said that he would be "easing back into things," and that he might wait before going on roadtrips. All the same, Remy announced himself "excited" about getting back into the booth.
 
"You think I would miss another series with the Yankees!?" Remy asked.
 
Remy visited Fenway on Aug. 12 (for details on the visit, click here), and said at the time that he had a date in mind for a return, but did not disclose it because he had not met two prior goals for moving back into the booth. But, apparently, Remy has had a change of heart, and so...

Report: Smoltz signs with St. Louis
By: Alex Speier

According to Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, former Red Sox pitcher John Smoltz cleared release waivers and has signed with the Cardinals. While Smoltz will be paid a pro-rated portion of the major-league minimum annual salary of $400,000 by the Cardinals (meaning that he be paid a bit more than $100,000 by St. Louis), Strauss reported in the chat that the team "sweetened the pot with Smoltz via some postseason award incentives." Smoltz is expected to be the fifth starter for the Cardinals.
 
Smoltz, who signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Red Sox this offseason that had incentives that pushed the value of the deal slightly above $7 million, went 2-5 with an 8.32 ERA for the Red Sox.
