Red Sox sign Hanley Ramirez (5 years, $90 Mil)

[The Entity]

He is not playing SS, he is playing 3rd of left pending what happens with sandoval

 

[FloorGeneral]

hanley in OF sounds like all kind of crazy.

lol, tell me about it. It's why I don't understand why they're going/went after both. With Bogaerts already there (you would think), signing both of them makes no sense unless one goes to the OF. We'll see how it turns out though.

 

[Horoyoi]

See ya Han-Ram.
I'll always remember that late 2013 run until Joe Kelly (who is your teammate now) took you out of action

Man fukk that dude to this day

 

[duckbutta]

Seems bad until you realize there is no salary cap in baseball...

Don't think they gave up on Xandy yet cause I sure can't see Hanley playing short much longer...he was pretty atrocious this year...

3rd...or outfield...

How many OF's does Boston need?

Betts
Bradley (though I think it's a wrap for him, I thought he'd be better)
Nava
Victorino
Cespedes
Castillo
Craig

Sacrilegious considering everyone except the Rangers suck ass, but I wouldn't even mind the Yankees chillin at the bottom of the standing this year tank style.

my homie texting me sandoval is gone to sox ? is that official ?

 

[Captain Crunch]

Wow.

RIP Xander?

Just play Bogarts at short and move Hanley to 3rd.
Side note, how did they sign him for that low?

Still just "small" guys reporting it....but no one is saying they're wrong either.

But.....Panda.

Twitter saying 5/102m which is pretty cheap considering the contracts they be dishing out lately. Panda is a longterm replacement to Papi as a DH too.

 

[Derek Lee]

Not official, but it looks likes it's a 5 year, $102 million deal according to twitter. Looks like they're giving up on Bogaerts.

 

[Captain Crunch]

This is Napoli's last year under contract and will probably be Papi's last year. If those two things happen, you can shift Pablo to 1st in 2016, while Hanley plays 3rd in 2016(SS this year).

 

[yseJ]

giants couldnt give panda better than 5/102 ? oh well its overpaying anyway

sounds like hes salty for them not giving him what he wanted before the season

its been real pablo

 

[tremonthustler1]

and now there's talk Boston's gonna use their excess parts to go after Hamels
