    Good move for both sides ... now which big bang will be coming ... a trade or a promotion. (please say promotion)

    For now, Pablo Sandoval's contract includes the second largest sum of dead money in @MLB history, after Josh Hamilton ($68.4 million).


    Thanks Ben.

    Sandoval is midway through five-year, $95 million contract. Including the $5 mil buyout on 2020 option, he's owed approximately $49 million.

    @ScottLauber

    Sandoval with #RedSox: 161 G, 575 AB, 53 R, 136 H, 27 2B, 1 3B, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 34 BB, 101 K, .237/.286/.360/.646, 71 OPS+, 21 E, -2 WAR.

    Honestly, if we're not blaming Ben, we'd probably have to blame Tom Werner. I can't see even LL wanting that contract.

    Another reason why this guy is my favorite tweeter:

    Still stunning to me how many people wanted Sandoval signed in the first place. Can not possibly believe Sox baseball ops wanted him.

    Couple of ways to look at this
    $1.8M/Run
    $700K/Hit
    $1.6M/RBI
    $6.8M/HR
    or my favorite
    $600K/ Game Played

    It was really the most confusing signing the Sox have made that I can remember.

    I can see how the Crawford signing could have made sense or any of the dumpster signings people have ranted about, but the Pablo deal was just a head scratcher.

    Please, no more personal attacks about fatties that have no interest in being useful for the remainder of their 8 digit contracts. It's not polite. He's out the door. Let him commence his late era Marlon Brando phase immediately. My guess is that some restaurant on Federal Hill will be very busy today.

    From July 31-Nov. 25, 2014, Red Sox traded for Allen Craig and signed Rusney Castillo and Pablo Sandoval. $195.4 million for minus-1.5 WAR
