If he can't work out a deal in Boston, he will pitch for another team - but not the New York Yankees."I'm in discussions with the Red Sox, we had talked last week and there's a lot going on obviously right now, but where I'm going to play beyond 2007 ... I hope it's Boston," he told the radio station. "This is where I want to play and in the days leading up to spring training we'll figure it out one way or the other. If I go into this season without a contract from the Red Sox then I will go out and find a home for 2008."Schilling told the station he decided to play beyond the 2007 season after discussions with his family.
