Yep, he’s a top target.  I have no problem with the Sox saving for the top guys (Luis Robert, Yolbert Sanchez) than pay a bunch of mediocre guys who will never make the majors.

If they still have $2.5 million free, that means they have done an awful job of targeting the Latin American market the last two years.

Because most of the top prospects are already tied to teams.  If we have the budget flexibility to afford this guy, that likely means we haven’t add many / any high end prospects.

It means we have spent about $2.5 million,  tops.

Or maybe they are re-prioritizing it on what they deem to be a better player.  

That would be a fairly high-risk move if you already had done your job scouting and lined up decent quality players. If this guy says no to you, then you've left yourself no backup plan.

From the article I linked above...

“The Orioles, who came up short in their pursuit of Cuban outfielders Victor Victor Mesa and Victor Mesa Jr. and Cuban pitcher Sandy Gaston, still have close to $6 million in bonus pool money to spend on international prospects -- the most money in baseball -- and the Dodgers ($1.4 million) are next. The Phillies have close to $1 million remaining while the Cubs, Rangers and Red Sox follow with bonus pools in the $700,000-$850,000 range.”

They would be breaking existing agreements for a chance at the other guy. That means they would be burning bridges for future signings with the same buscandos for future players. That isn't going to happen.
