Panda in Boston Meeting with the Red Sox

Free agent Pablo Sandoval arrived in Boston on Monday for a meeting with Red Sox brass, who were said to be "all-in" on luring the third baseman away from San Francisco.

Sandoval was spotted at the airport by local news station WHDH, whose sports director tweeted a photo of him from what appears to be baggage claim:

An executive with one major league club at last week's GM meetings in Phoenix said the Sox were making a big push to sign the 28-year-old Sandoval, who is also the top target of the San Francisco Giants, with whom he just won his second World Series title.

I'm guessing that after Pablo Sandoval's free agency goes through a few more frenzied twists and turns, he'll end up re-signing with the Giants.

Not Boston, not the Dodgers, not anybody except your newly crowned World Series champions, though it will not be without significant cost....

1. He has obviously had a great time here, and I don't think he'll leave the Giants unless another team blows him away with an offer; right now I don't see that kind of deal out there for him.

First off, Sandoval is a very good player, but he's not Robinson Cano ($240 million last offseason) or Prince Fielder ($214 million two years ago) or Jacoby Ellsbury ($153 million last offseason).
