According to an industry source, the Red Sox are in advanced conversations
with free agent Hanley Ramirez, with the possibility that a deal “could come
together quickly.” As of this afternoon, the source said, there was not an
agreement between the sides, but the potential for a deal is real.
At this point, what is not clear is whether talks with Ramirez are as a third
base fallback should free agent Pablo Sandoval sign with one of his other
suitors (the Giants or Padres), or if the pursuit of Ramirez might be in
conjunction with the pursuit of Sandoval, with Ramirez moving to left field
and Sandoval at third base. If the Sox did pursue Ramirez, it could be part
of yet another domino, with the possibility of trading Yoenis Cespedes
increasing.
However, the Sox viewed Sandoval as their priority over Ramirez for a number
of reasons, including age (Sandoval is 28; Ramirez turns 31 this winter),
defense (Sandoval is an above-average defensive third baseman; Ramirez has
been viewed as one of the worst defensive shortstops in the big leagues, and
struggled in a half-season at third base with the Marlins), durability
(Ramirez has averaged 121 games a year over the last five seasons, Sandoval
135) and makeup (Sandoval is viewed as a strong clubhouse presence, Ramirez
was a polarizing figure with the Marlins prior to his trade to the Dodgers).

Reminder,I said Hanley and Boston are agreed on length/money.Still working
details.
