I hear Pablo Sandoval has received his highest contract offer from the Padres but is leaning toward accepting an offer from the Red Sox, though events could change in a hurry.

Giants assistant GM Bobby Evans, who spoke with agent Gustavo Vasquez on Thursday morning, had suggested the third baseman could make his decision before Thanksgiving and that the Sandoval camp asked the Giants to submit their best offer.

Today, I heard all offers — three total (Red Sox, Padres, Giants) — are on the table and that Sandoval will indeed make his decision next week.

“I think the interest is sincere,” Evans told Henry Schulman. “I think Pablo loves this fan base as much as any player loves a fan base and that could go a long way.”

But so does a bigger contract offer. According to the Boston Globe, the Red Sox offered five years and $95 million. If that’s true, the Padres’ offer is north of that. Vasquez had told Schulman that six years is the preference.

Whatever the Giants’ offer, it’s more than they probably had anticipated. The offer in spring training was three years and $40 million.

If the Giants lose out in the Sandoval sweepstakes, they’re expected to make a serious bid on Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomas.
