Cherington offers Napoli update (sort of)

I would hope that Cherington is working on an alternative solution because it doesn't look like this Napoli deal will ever be resolved.

I wish the Bosox could just buy him from the Nats instead of having to trade for him.

It would seem the Nats would have the leverage in that deal.

Just my opinion but I really think this whole thing is a cluster **** and the Sox mangement is screwing the pooch.

So, the update is that there's no update?

The best thing to say when there is nothing to say is nothing.

Start learning to make Pizza's Mike!!

Until there's a deal there's no deal ... duh!

Sometimes doing nothing - even if temporarily - is the wiser choice.

At least in the past, Boston management didn't show their hand until a deal was done and signed. So don't expect us all to know what happened or is happening. Secrecy actually protects all parties here.

As for doing bad things to pooches, I am reluctant to declare that until deals are made. There are a few management made in years past (e.g. Lackey) that I'm sure they wish they could take back. Given the reports of a hip issue here, it's best to proceed wisely.

First base isn't even a "gotta have" for Boston. Like many teams, they'd prefer to spend more time, effort, and money on starting pitching. So I'm not going to lose sleep over them holding out for a better deal with Napoli.

Personally, I don't want it to be resolved. Boston needs a real first baseman and if that means a bit less offense in exchange for a guy that the rest of the infielders can count on then I'm OK with that.

What the hell is "dhuti?"This word is part of your vocabulary???

Where did you see dhuti?

This is so typical of the ineptness the Red Sox front office has demonstrated the past four years, one screwup after another.
