In a swing of a Louisville Slugger the Boston Red Sox make the biggest splash on the Shows Hot Stove. The Red Sox sticking to their guns had plenty of Salary Cap space heading into 2015 and didn't make just any move in 2014 that allowed them to make that 2014 MLB Winter Meetings splash.

Low and behold they didn't just get one position player that was five-star they get a 2-for-1 doing all that business in the powerful two-headed monster of the NL West. Through numerous media outlets the Carmines of Fenway Park lore goes pre-Black Friday shopping purchasing Gigantes hot corner Pablo "Panda Smash" Sandoval along with Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez. Now what is Carmines former Ace Jon Lester to do as that Red Sox line up went from 0-50 real quick...not 100 Red Sox Nation slow your roll and keep watching "Tom Terrific" and the Pats!

Venezuelan "Panda Smash" Sandoval brings three rings with him from #OrangeOctober and he is battle-tested. Hanley of the proud hardball rich Dominican Republic was arguably at one point in his career the best or a Top 3 player in the show as is his health is always concern and I know Dan Uggla is smiling at his boy somewhere...Lol!

#48 and #13 talking Numbers:

"Panda Smash" Sandoval 3B Red Sox Duffel Bags 5-yrs close to $100 million

2014 Numbers: 157 gms .279 avg 16 HR 73 RBI 68 R 26 2B

"EL Nino" Hanley R. SS Red Sox Duffel Bags 4-yrs $88 million (5th year vested option)

2014 Numbers: 128 gms .283 avg 13 HR 71 RBI 64 R 35 2B

Hanley's numbers are real close to Sandoval's numbers and "Panda Smash" played in 29 more games. We all know it's about pitching and defense and the Carmines now have to go get Jon Lester and maybe add one more arm as they can afford it.

Carmines 2015 Business heading into the Holidays looks the part thus far of an AL east contender...
