ESPN is reporting that the Sox have signed Alex Gonzalez to a 1-year/$3 million contract. Count me among the people who were hoping that they’d take Cora to spring training and be done with it. That being said, I think we can live with him for a year. He won’t be blocking any better options (Pedroia if he shows he’s got it or a free agent next off-season) and, by all accounts, his defense should be pretty good. If he totally sucks, we can probably just cut him and eat his $3 mil. I think now we’re finally done. At least until spring training rolls around…
