It wasn't vampiro, it was Tom Werner, the man with stars in his eyes. I don't know if that portends good things for this deal. Werner may be all in on Soto, but Henry could easily say no.
If only we could go year to year with Soto the way with did with Ortiz. The amount of value (on field, PR, otherwise) the Sox got out of his contract was immense.
Sasaki is cheap, but he gets to choose wherever he wants to go and it'll most likely be the Dodgers. Sox will make a pitch, but it will be a shot in the dark. If he doesn't pick the Sox, there's no way we can get mad at Bres.
