I can't see the Sox paying the kind of money this kid can demand. So unless he takes a "Cuban Discount", I don't see it.

Yeah, seemed as though Alexei and Viciedo took pretty reasonable contracts and flew under the radar. Chapman is getting promoted like mad, so I doubt KW will want to get into a bidding war with teams who have bottomless pockets.

Agreed Rok. That's not his style. If he has 50mm to spend, I don't see it on someone who has never thrown a pitch in the majors.
I know it is easy to say this, but he's got NYY/Bos/LA written all over him.
