We started talking to the Padres about a week ago, casually at first. It picked up a little bit of steam after the game in Cleveland.
We think he brings something to the table for us now and something, we hope, for the future. We think there's plenty of upside left, that he has a chance to further adapt into a full-time player.
We think he's above average offensively and defensively at a premium position.
We think investing in Coco Crisp is a wise move. On behalf of the organization, this provides us a little bit of cost certainty going forward and the flexibility to have five years, if we want him, and not have to deal with free agency.

We'll keep our fingers crossed. Planes, trains and automobiles.
We'll miss his presence and contributions, but we respect and support his decision. We're proud that John began and ended his career in a Red Sox uniform.
