I don’t think we should be doom and gloom about the Padres, the Sox still are in this and control their destiny. I also think it’s crazy that some posters keep saying “the Sox won’t be outbid”. What has this Front Office done to inspire that confidence? When have they proven that they will go the extra mile? They haven’t. For those of us citing Yonder and Jay as reasons that the Sox will beat any bid, you can easily go the opposite direction and say they signed them because they knew they wouldn’t be the highest bidder and wanted to tip the scale.
