I stopped questioning Sox management since Theo and Co. took over.
From what I have heard, Cabrera wanted 5 or 6 years and the Sox weren't interested. I don't know what Theo was thinking giving him this much money, but Renteria was one of John Henry's boys back in the Florida days, just like Mantei.
I think this deal sets the mark, though, for the rest of the good, not superstar, free agents.
