Personally, I figured it would be. Doesn't seem like much happens day 1 until maybe at night. Laying the groundwork for deals that could be completed tomorrow, Wednesday or Thursday.
Yeah I'm sure they will offer opt-outs (look at other big deals they have signed in the past like CC, A-Rod, Tanaka) but I hope the Sox offer 10+ with opt-outs after years 4,5 and 6.
I'm good with the Sox bringing him in. I like his speed and defense in CF. Just let him hit 9th and cover all of the outfield. Engel can be a late inning defensive sub.
What is the Mariners hurry to dump all this money if they are rebuilding (and it's not like they haven't taken on additional bad money in the process)?
