Halfway done with the week, everyone. We’re almost there. Then it’s the holidays and candy and eggnog. Just think of all the eggnog. Do it for that. And these links too.
- You might’ve heard that Mike Napoli‘s deal may be in jeopardy. Don’t worry. It’s most likely a procedural issue. Please don’t freak out. I can only handle so much. (Mike Napoli Announcement Delayed, But No Need To Worry Yet)
- It’s happened, everyone: our old buddy Kevin Youkilis is going to be wearing pinstripes next season. Don’t be mad with Youk, though – his options were limited. (Report: Kevin Youkilis takes $12 million from Yankees)
- Nick Cafardo goes over an impressive list of potential starting pitchers the Red Sox could go after, including the big box of crazy known as Matt Garza. (Where will Red Sox find a pitcher?)
- In what would be the strangest BOS-NYY player reversal ever if signed, Nick Swisher is garnering interest from the Red Sox. (Boston Red Sox among four teams interested in Nick Swisher)
- A quick, speedy recap of the offseason so far for the BoSox. There’s still questions to be answered and holes to be filled, but one thing’s for sure: Jonny Gomes has the goatee quota filled. (Boston Red Sox – Team Report)
- Another day, another waiver claim on the apparently vitally important Sandy Rosario. (Red Sox Claim Sandy Rosario)
- It’s a good thing Kevin Towers is not the general manager of the Red Sox, or else he would’ve found a way to trade away all the prospects by now. (Reds, DBacks, Indians swing 3-team trade)
- Looks like we won’t have to watch Andruw Jones play for the Yankees anymore. Why? Because he’s heading to Japan. No joke. (Andruw Jones signs with Rakuten Golden Eagles)
…wow, this free agent market really sucks now, huh?
