That’s where Luis Tiant, a 21-game winner last year, has vowed to move with his family if the Red Sox continue to refuse to meet his contract demands. At issue is the length of Tiant’s contract. He is currently working on a multiyear pact, which expires at the end of this season. Tiant, whose age is listed as 36 but is sus pected to be closer to 40, wants a no-cut extension through 1978. For obvious reasons, the Red Sox are balking. “I wanted a three-year contract; then I came down to two and now they are still monkeying around like I was a kid,’’ said Tiant, a Cuban native. “I’m disgusted and coming home. “I just talked this morning to my wife and she feels the same way I do. She told me to come back home (Milton, Mass.) and we will go back to Mexico. That’s the best thing to do. I just got tired of the whole thing.” If Tiant doesn’t come to terms, the Red Sox will be hurting for start ing pitchers. Only Rick Wise, who had a solid first-half last season then faded and won 14 games, can be counted on every four days. Bill Lee, the southpaw, is coming back from a shoulder injury and Reggie Cleveland is inconsistent.

Dick O’Connell has taken care of the Red Sox’ other problems. Lynn, Fisk, and Burleson are all signed to multiyear contracts; Bill Campbell, who won 17 games and recorded 20 saves as a reliever for Minnesota last year, was signed as a free agent; and power-hitting George Scott was required from Milwaukee for Cecil Cooper and Rick Miller. The Red Sox still managed to lose to the Detroit Tigers, 5-4, yester day, with Mickey Stanley belting the game-winning solo homer off Campbell. Elsewhere around the camps as the teams prepared for today s first full complement of exhibition games: Steve Yeager hit his third home run in as many intrasquad games for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
