Red Sox sign Chorye Spoone

[RVAbird]

The Orioles did offer Chorye a minor league contract but he decided that from the offers that he had...Boston was the best fit for him in the Relief role. While we will miss being able to watch him close by we wish him the best in Boston. I will also miss reading the blogs on here so may still pop in on occasion.

Best of luck to you and Chorye. I sincerely hope he is traded to a National League team and becomes a prolific closer

I really hated that the O's couldn't or wouldn't give Spoone a decent deal. After moving to the bull pen last season, he was looking qiute good. I talked to him a few times in Bowie, he was loving it, coming in from the bull pen. Said he felt good.

I will miss him and wish him the best.

It is the O's, but this comment isn't fair either. You don't know what the O's offer was, only that he decided to go with the Red Sox. That doesn't necessarily mean the O's gave him a bad offer.

It is fair for me to say. I promoised I would not say what he was offered from the Orioles. I heard it from a reliable source, that is a very good friend. I choose not to lose my friendship.
