I think you're spot on if money is all the same. But if Sox are at 10/325 while everyone else is 10/300, there's no way he turns it down.
Having said that, it will never happen.
Exactly this. I honestly wish I could just jump right back into the rebuild but I can't. I live in the Cardinals market, I'll likely spend the start of the season watching Goldy & Co. I'll still stay up to date on the Sox, I'm just not going to go out of my way to watch them for the time being.
