Won't be surprised to see the Cubs make a strong push for this guy...One of Theo's plans that won't pan out was spending a shitload through the draft (which isn't possible after the new CBA) and he may plan to divert that money to foreign-born players. But at the same time, I'm not surprised to see the Sox in on this guy either.
Yeah. I think Theo will want this to happen 100%. Building from the bottom is his thing, but since the Sox have that connection with the agent I think they really have a good chance at it.
Having connections to agents matter, but he'll sign w/ whoever promises the most $$$...But I'm not going to pretend to know how Kenny and the WS handle matters such as this...they may very well be willing to pony up.

Cubs will probably get him, but we just missed out on Cespedes to Oakland of all teams and I believe I heard we were second in Darvish bidding, losing out to Texas, so they are beatable for sure.
Sox made a good push for Soler but the Cubs were too motivated to not miss out. Will they be as motivated with Puig? My guess is not.
