Where is it written that a ball club must pay a guy what he’s worth. If David were so sure of his value he could have opted for free agency. An aging 36 year old DH has fewer bargaining chips and lets be honest what other team had shown any interest in Big Papi?

On second thought he would have fitted in quite nicely in a Yankee uniform!

You ought that hook, line an sinker..Apparently sarcasm is a lost art form.

If they compile 20 starting pitchers before spring training you have to think 2 of the lil buggers will stick

If it’s about them signing Padilla I’m dead serious.

Expect the announcement before the weekend is over.

Look I love papi and think he should have a 2 year 25-30 million deal but that is freaking crazy! He’s GUARANTEED to be on the sox this year, theres no letting him go, and really they dont owe him crap, baseball doesnt pay 80 million dollars for a thank you card

Better not let him go, even if you have to sign him to the 4 year $80 million dollar contract he deserves. And you kinda owe it to him….
