Remember how I was feeling earlier? I just want to say this loud and clear. f*** YOU HEYMANN! And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. f*** YES!!!!!!!!!!! AGON!!!!!!!!

What an ugly day in Boston.

I think it would be smart to completely cave on years and money, just throw in an injury clause for the shoulder. If he's getting what he wants money-wise and year-wise, and the Sox find a way to protect themselves, I see zero reasons not to sign him to 36.

"If Werth is getting 7 years Sox may have to give Gonzalez soccer team. No one on Yawkey Way saying deal is done" -Edes

Interesting. Very interesting.

What should I do? Should I admit I’d made mistakes? Should I remind you I’ve done this before? Should I give you a history lesson? What should I do? Should I tell you how much fun we had? So... this went well. Should I really believe I ruined my legacy? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? - Theo Epstein

Werth, Konerko, Dunn, Jeter, Vmart are all off the market. Crawford will take 7 years. Theo, get this f***ing A-gon deal done, NOW.

All of the reports have said the sticking point has been the difference between 6 years and 8 years. Not one report mentioned the shoulder anywhere. If Colorado can give a massive contract for a franchise player, this is pathetic.

This is the third article with a source that is still f***ing Heymann. Someone give me another source, and we can call it. Rosenthall says they might still go through with it, and he's the other source here as well.

Well, we know what this team is willing to give up. Would that package be adequate for a Greinke or Upton deals?

Why is it that if you put his name into google, nothing baseball related comes up? I'm not saying he's wrong, but he seems biased, and he definitely isn't well known.

SI is quoting Heymann.

Heymann is the guy from San Diego who has been negative on this one all day. Other reporters have been saying different things.

Honestly, I could care less about Drew's health. He's much better in the outfield than Werth is, and if his health plummets, he's done here and gets replaced by Kalish next year anyway.

There are 21 people actively viewing this thread. Haha, why do I get the feeling that the next hour will be pretty heated?

Remember when Timlin hung on for a season too long? Wakefield will probably do the same-- because he's being paid to.

I think I've had enough of GoBruins. Would someone ban him please?

Werth definitely makes a lot more sense now than it did Friday afternoon. He fits seemlessly into the team, as many others have projected a quite perfect L/R/L/R/L/R/L/S/S lineup. The big factor is whether or not they will need to outbid the Tigers-- who are also interested in taking Ordonez back for RF, so they may not be interested since they already have Jackson and some solid younger options. I think either Ordonez or Werth would be great options for our OF-- no arbitration for Ordonez--so just getting one of those guys would be fine with me. So, if they beat out the Tigers on Werth, they will still get a 1st rounder from the tigers. But if they get Ordonez, they keep their own 1st rounder. So I think it works pretty well for them in both scenarios. The problem with Crawford is that the Red Sox have some huge problem against signing defensive catchers. Salty/Varitek/Vmart... those guys will never throw out Crawford in a million years. I think Crawford is the kind of guy I'd rather not have to face, much more so than I feel about say the Werth going to the Yankees.

They sure better mass-produce the A-gon models. I'm sure they'll be popular around here for a while
