Huge Signing By Red Sox

[stocker323]

And I mean huge. Red Sox have reportedly signed David Wells to a one year contract.

[RedSoxRooter]

Yeah, it's on BDD....

 

WTF? I hate that fat bastard. The media is gonna rip him to pieces in Boston.

[CrespoBlows]

source??!

[YanksHater213]

Oh No... how could I cheer for him... i remember the days looking up insults for him in the back of my spanish book during class... this cant be

[YanksHater213]

Stocker is no longer a credible source for info... We offered him a contract, no agreement was made

[RedSoxRooter]

Ahhaha. Ok, Bostondirtdogs is changing his tune. Now the Sox are just "Close" to signing Wells.

[stocker323]

Espnews is the discredible source. Steve Phillips had originally said that they had agreed to terms. 10 minutes later he retracted that statement and said that we had offered him a contract. Espnews even had that breaking news thing in the lower right hand corner.

[YanksHater213]

ooooo, the mystical bottom right handed corner... i dont know if i can ever trust it again

[CrespoBlows]

Stocker is correct, if I had seen it, I would of posted it, if you want to blame anyone blame that faggot who reported it from ESPNnews

[YanksHater213]

He knows i was just goofing on him

[yeszir]

Pun intended, yes?

[YanksHater213]

Yes.

[yankeessuck013]

if we sign him do we still have a chance at pavano?

[Gertie]

Well, that's the question, huh. I imagine Wells will want around 4-5 million, since 2004 was solid. I think the Sox will still have enough room under the luxury tax line, but it'll leave little breathing room if they do sign Pavano.

[stocker323]

I think the reason they would sign Wells is because they aren't planning on getting Pavano. I heard that another team guaranteed him 5 years(most likely the Yankees), which is something the Red Sox don't want to do.

Whattttttttt?!?!?!!?!?

[stocker323]

Well I think they want to get Pavano, but another team has supposedly offered him 5 years.

[Soxfan1]

If wells signs here then yankees fans will hate him and so will the sox fans. It's a lose lose situation.

[yankeessuck013]

so there is NO chance of signing pavano?

If they go out and sign Wells, I'd take it as them throwing the towel in on the Pavano Cup. I can't see them signing Petey, Pavano, AND Wells, can you?

[stocker323]

I think there's still a chance to sign Pavano but right now I think it is unlikely.

[ahhchon]

i think it's a ploy to get pavano to sign with us.

 

wells in fenway? that monster would eat him alive.

[yankeessuck013]

omg john i really really hope you are right....i want pavano so bad

 

(but then again wells has had a good history in fenway) :shrug: im confused

[ahhchon]

no he hasn't.. he's been like 10-10 4.7+ era.. that's not too good in my book.

[BoSox Rule]

He's been pitching very well at Fenway recently.

 

His 3 year splits at Fenway are: 37 innings, 2.19 ERA, 2-0 record, including a duel with Pedro Martinez this year. He caught Pedro at a bad time because Pedro threw 8 innings of 1 hit, 0 run, 8 strikeout ball.

[stocker323]

According to Pavano's agent he is expected to make his decision in the next day or 2. There have been rumors that he has received a 5 year offer from the Tigers and another offer from Baltimore, but Peter Gammons reports that Pavano has limited the teams to the Red Sox, Yankees and Mariners.

[schillingouttheks]

*gasp* its so close u can taste it...

 

watch him sign with the orioles anyway :thumbdown:

[mosox]

Wells did pitch a good game this year at Fenway against the Sox in 2004, but still this is a "bargain basement" signing for one year and I think it does mean they can't get Pavano, especially with Pedro coming back. I hate to see this team patch together a roster to defend a world title. They had better reel in Tek now and settle the shortstop position.

[mosox]

ESPN is now reporting, according to Gammons that the offer to Wells is for 2 years and 16 mill.
