That's the way his agent is making it sound. Seems like he wants to finish up the interviews and make a decision within the next week or two.

I would've rather gotten Concepción n Solano for the price and they're younger too but as usual a $1 short n a day late

Kenny is crying poor again. We're not signing anyone worth a shit.

We paid 7m for Concepcion with up to 8+m in incentives. We basically just paid him Gerrit Cole type money except he doesn't have #1 pitcher upside he has Randy Wells:bizarro: type upside some scouts say and others say he has #4 type upside.

Kind of a waste IMO we way overpaid IMO glad we did something but really overspent. Hopefully he proves scouts wrong but I dont get paying so much with low upside.

I want one of the two: either Soler or Cespedes. Sox need to make a move or two.

If Theo thinks Cespedes is worth it, Cespedes is :rolleyes:

When another team overpays, they're idiots.

At this point, I'd be surprised if he went anywhere but Miami. For $60 million, they can have him.

Willy Mo Pena probably wishes he was Cuban he could probably get 30m in the open market easy he had the same body type. Just because he could put a show on in BP and had a body that looked like he was a beast doesnt mean Willy was worth 60m. Am I the only one who gets the feel of he is Willy mo 2.0??
