Wondering why the Boston Red Sox didn’t make a strong push for Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez at this week’s Major League Baseball winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn.?

Miami’s asking price might have something to do with it.

“We thought we might be able to piece something together with the Red Sox,” a Marlins official told Peter Gammons. “With E-Rod (Eduardo Rodriguez), Mookie Betts, Christian Vazquez, Yoan Moncada and another pitcher I thought we had something that might work.”

So, there are a few possibilities here.

1) Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill was drunk, in which case we hope he took an Uber if he decided to leave the Opryland hotel.
