"Red Sox To Re-Sign Mike Napoli

By Mark Polishuk [December 6 at 8:05pm CST]

The Red Sox have agreed to terms with Mike Napoli, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports (Twitter link). The contract is a two-year deal worth $32MM, according to CSNNE.com's Sean McAdam (via Twitter). The slugger confirmed his return on his own Twitter feed, saying "The beard is coming back to Boston!!!"

 

Earlier today, Rosenthal reported that Napoli had received an offer another club but his preference was to remain in Boston. The Marlins, Rangers, and Mariners were all rumored to be interested in Napoli's services, and Texas was believed to have made Napoli a larger offer, Bradford and Alex Speier report, but Napoli preferred to remain with the Sox and accepted their smaller deal."

 

Not a bad investment for only 2 years.

"Right-hander Matt Albers has already received at least one two-year contract offer from an interested team, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Albers has received interest from several clubs, and Hoynes reports that one of those teams is from the AL Central, possibly the Tigers or White Sox. The Indians have discussed a one-year deal with Albers and Hoynes speculates that the righty could take the shorter contract in order to help his value for next winter, provided he gets the right price."

 

Anyone think the Sox are interested?

I don't think we would be anymore, after bringing in Belisario

Agreed. Given Albers is looking to rebuild value the Sox could sign him for trade bait at the dead line. Its possible but the Sox pen is already stuffed with right handers so its most like the tribe and tigers that are interested.

So the Japanese team now determines the amount they will accept and any team that is willing to pay that will be able to negotiate with the player. This should save the big market teams some money.

 

I can see a lot of teams just posting all their players for $20M as a "win-win" situation.

Rangers, Blue Jays agreed on deal sending Sergio Santos to Texas but another player failed physical, sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal and me.

At that point, deal fell apart. This happened about 2 weeks ago. Sources say this was a 3-way deal.

Free agent OF Rajai Davis closing in on deal with #tigers, as @jonmorosi reports. Source confirms. Hearing 2 years

 

 

A guy who relies on his speed on the base paths that has trouble getting on base. Interesting platoon in LF they got going on.

Source: #Rockies acquire Brett Anderson from #Athletics for Drew Pomeranz and Chris Jensen.

Knowing Beane, Pomeranz and Jensen will be gems for Oakland. Part of Pomeranz problem could be the mile high air killing his curve ball.
