MLB analyst Peter Gammons guesses that the Boston Red Sox will go “real hard” after Carl Crawford this winter.

Crawford is eligible to a free-agent after the World Series, and it’s unlikely that he’ll return to the Tampa Bay Rays since they are expected to have a limited payroll.

“I don’t want to leave, everybody knows that,” Crawford recently said about the Rays. “I like it here. I’ve made that known. I wish something was able to be worked out.”

Another team that will likely go hard after Crawford are the Los Angeles Angels. Gammons says Angels’ owner Artie Moreno is on the “cusp of a $4 billion TV deal in Anaheim.” If that’s the case, then the Angels will have additional financial resources to pay the expected 6-7 year deal in the $96-126 million range.
