Well, I guess Seattle right for Cano, but I thought he'd get 8 yrs/$220M.

"Red Sox To Re-Sign Mike Napoli

By Mark Polishuk [December 6 at 8:05pm CST]

The Red Sox have agreed to terms with Mike Napoli, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports (Twitter link). The contract is a two-year deal worth $32MM, according to CSNNE.com's Sean McAdam (via Twitter). The slugger confirmed his return on his own Twitter feed, saying "The beard is coming back to Boston!!!"

 

Earlier today, Rosenthal reported that Napoli had received an offer another club but his preference was to remain in Boston. The Marlins, Rangers, and Mariners were all rumored to be interested in Napoli's services, and Texas was believed to have made Napoli a larger offer, Bradford and Alex Speier report, but Napoli preferred to remain with the Sox and accepted their smaller deal."

 

Not a bad investment for only 2 years.

"Right-hander Matt Albers has already received at least one two-year contract offer from an interested team, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Albers has received interest from several clubs, and Hoynes reports that one of those teams is from the AL Central, possibly the Tigers or White Sox. The Indians have discussed a one-year deal with Albers and Hoynes speculates that the righty could take the shorter contract in order to help his value for next winter, provided he gets the right price."

 

Anyone think the Sox are interested?

I don't think we would be anymore, after bringing in Belisario

Agreed. Given Albers is looking to rebuild value the Sox could sign him for trade bait at the dead line. Its possible but the Sox pen is already stuffed with right handers so its most like the tribe and tigers that are interested.

Beltran to the Yankees for 3 years/ 45 million.

Yikes. He's going to be 37 in April. Guaranteeing him 3 years is crazy

If any team could afford it, it's the Yankees. speaking of, do they have a closer yet?

I think Beltran could hit well enough for the contract but fielding is another story considering the yanks dh and 1b positions are spoken for if Beltran struggles in the OF.

Yankees have almost eclipsed the $300M spending mark this offseason and we aren't even to the Winter Meetings yet.

#mariners getting lots of calls on their kids. Nick franklin obvs likely to go, maybe others too. Playing to win now.

So the Japanese team now determines the amount they will accept and any team that is willing to pay that will be able to negotiate with the player. This should save the big market teams some money.

I can see a lot of teams just posting all their players for $20M as a "win-win" situation.

At that point, deal fell apart. This happened about 2 weeks ago. Sources say this was a 3-way deal.

I live 10 minutes from Disney and I'm kinda curious about driving over to that hotel to see what's its all about but I think I'll just end up bored after 5 minutes.

A guy who relies on his speed on the base paths that has trouble getting on base. Interesting platoon in LF they got going on.

Knowing Beane, Pomeranz and Jensen will be gems for Oakland. Part of Pomeranz problem could be the mile high air killing his curve ball.

Rangers like them some catchers who swing at everything.

As long as he brings the future wife along it doesn't matter. He didn't swing and miss there.

If Justin Smoak wasn't so "meh" he might have been a nice target had the Sox not signed Konerko and were stuck with Dunn.

 

That's a lot of ifs.
