According to
The San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea,
the free-agent deal between the Red Sox and Pablo Sandoval is confirmed—pending a physical. No specific word on the exact terms of the contract agreement is—as yet—available. Shea also states that the new deal will be "announced shortly". Perhaps as satisfying as the signing itself is the early reaction from the sports media in
Baghdad-by-the-Hudson. For example, the formerly influential
New York Times is whining about how
the Red Sox are clearly gearing up for another title run. Stay tuned for further details on the Panda deal.
