This afternoon the Red Sox officially introduced Ryan Dempster, who signed a two-year, $26.5 million deal last week, but Mike Napoli?s reported three-year, $39 million contract has yet to become official and general manager Ben Cherington didn?t have much to say about it.
?There?s really nothing to comment on,? Cherington said, via Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. ?As with any free agent, until it?s done, it?s not done. We continue to work on different ways to improve the team. I?ll comment on it as soon as I can, but I can?t right now.?
There?s been lots of speculation about the source of the delay with Napoli, who originally agreed to the deal way back on December 3. When asked it the team continues to be in the mix for different first basemen without Napoli officially under contract Cherington replied: ?Sure, we?ve got to keep active. Until something is done, it?s not done. Even then we can?t be blind to trying to improve the team in other ways.?
So, basically ? who knows. Obviously there?s something holding up the Napoli deal nearly three weeks later and the natural assumption is that it?s health-related, perhaps causing the Red Sox to try to rework some aspects of the contract. But so far at least there?s no indication that either side is going to back out of the deal.
