I am ready to move past this long drawn drama….good or bad (I am hopeful they are able to work on a resolution nonetheless). At this point with spring training a few weeks away the dwindling 1st base free agents is slim pickings. So if they have to part ways I at least hope they have enough time to go out and find a quality 1st baseman or even promote within.

Wait a second, how can you be the #1 fan, when I’m the #1 fan. Does not compute.

Hopefully this drama ends soon and turns out well for both the Sox and for Napoli. My focus is more on the contending teams in Town.

Same as Harlan, I hope this is a good move!

dump him……

I can’t imagine they’d really get him for a one year deal….If they do…even at 15 million that’d be solid

1-2 years or see ya!

Of course the Sox are favorites, who else would give him that kind of money.

Go away, enough already. Make his contract one he can earn with good health

  if youre upset with anything Red Sox in the past 6 years, and its the color of someones hat, your priorities are really out of whack.

Let the Mauro Gomez era begin!

he should sue the team for wasting his time. he could have signed on with another team by now. sox suck

I was actually wondering this. Could he in someway say the Sox hurt his free agency options due to this drawn out process.

Thomar4

By now the Sox have made it apparent around the league that Napoli is a high-risk long term signing. His history and current physical condition,speaks for itself. Expect higher dollar 1 yr., with possible vesting option for 2014 based games played. Nap is probably not going to do to much better.

acrossalloceans

if all the reports are true about this being scaled down to a one year deal, it really makes this that much better. His offense is the obvious selling point, but the two weakest areas (defense & health) really make a one year deal smart.
