I would not be at all surprised if the Sox resign him. Anyway, it looks to me like they are building for 2016 more than 2015.

Pathetic.

[12] Maybe. But they may decide in the end he’s the best option on the market, in which case they pay market value (which they would have had to anyway). In the meanwhile, they got him for a bargain this year (prorated qualifying offer, which is being partially absorbed by the A’s), and they get Cespedes for a year instead of a draft pick. It’s a gamble, to be sure, but an interesting gambit.

Hmm, wish I’d seen that shot, sounded pretty long.

Though worse than awful is pretty hard to top …
