Sign:
Jon Lester-6 years for 142mil
David Ross- 1 year for 1.5mil
Chase Headley- 4 year 55 mil
Mark Reynolds- 1 year 2.5 mil

Trade Deven Marrero, Matt Barnes and Daniel Nava for Jeff Samardzija.
Trade Mike Napoli to Seattle for prospects.
Prospects from Seattle, Allen Webster, Will Middlebrooks for Mat Latos.

I can get behind that Shark trade, for sure! I really like him. Same with signing Lester. The rest I liked with Headley and Reynolds, but is moot now as the Sox just signed Pablo and Hanley.

Thoughts?

I don't mind the Hanley deal as much as people are. Same with Pablo. But at the same time, I'm not getting too excited over it. They will perform better then when the sox shelled out money for Gonzo and Crawford tho.
