Mondesi sparks interest
According to a source close to outfielder Raul Mondesi, the Red Sox are one of approximately six teams that have made contact with him about a new contract for this season. The outfielder's contract with the Pirates was terminated earlier this week after Mondesi had to return home to the Dominican Republic to deal with a complicated and bitter contract dispute with former Red Sox Mario Guerrero, who wanted to garnish wages from Mondesi's contract.
Mondesi, 33, cleared waivers yesterday and his return to the mainland is ``imminent,'' according to the source, and he is intent on ``continuing his career.''
``Playing in Boston is a great fit from his standpoint and it's a place he'd like to play,'' said the source, who added there are other teams besides the Red Sox whose interest ``is as strong, if not stronger than Boston's.'' . . .

I'm sorry, but I can't bring myself to like Nixon.
