What a night, but someone has to get traded now Buehrle or Quentin.

Well whaddya know about that?

WOW, Christmas came early. Welcome back AJ!

We're not the Blue Jays, I'm confused.

 

Seriously though, that's a real nice deal, welcome back AJP!

Very nice. Now we can really take our time with Flowers, or trade him.

 

Now if we can get PK back and address the bullpen...

Great, great deal and a bargain too! I love you AJ, and thank you Kenny for not f***ing this one up. Phew!

Flowers can now be traded for a bucket of chicken.

Like Rowand said, this is a very nice deal. KHP, I'm happy for you!

I fully expect to hear that PK has been signed, Linebrink and Teahen moved, Byrdak signed and Man Soo Lee brought back to Chicago by midnite.

Why trade him when his value is at its lowest?

His value could actually still go down from here.

I watched White Men Can't Jump the other night.

 

What Kenny is doing reminds me of when Wesley Snipes is pulling money out of his hat, his socks, his crotch, and says "Oh my, it's coming from everywhere..."

I know some people were wanting to move on, but yeah, pretty darn affordable. Guess AJ really did want to come back.

IMO that depends on what we get at 1B. If PK is back I think you're definitely right, but if it's someone cheaper maybe we can work it in. We could always look to add some relief help by trading prospects and if necessary trying to get a little cash back in the deal. We're probably pretty close to our budget though.

He probably waited until he had a legitimate offer on the table from the Blue Jays, called up KW and asked him to beat it, and they were happy to.

That decrease in value is probably not worth the risk of not allowing him to try and realize his potential. At this point, it's probably best to just hope he pans out.

To buy low on a bucket of chicken.

Yuck. Hopefully the decline stops. Would be much more palatable at 1 year or 1 and an option.

Damn Im suprised... looks like the sox arent being cheapasses for once and will go all out..

Thanks! I'm so happy! This is great!

If some other team wants him, you don't say no. He probably has what, 1 more option left?

Great news!

 

Now let's re-sign Paulie, get a closer and a RFer and we're good to go!

AJ is top 3 or 4 in Sox jerseys seen at USCF at most games.

 

This is a true PR move as well as a vet re-signing.

No other team is going to give up anything of value for him at this point. Not sure about the option, but you just created the perfect situation for keeping him around by signing AJ to that contract.
