The Sox are an organization which doesn't want to have anything remotely resembling that happen again. They'll pay a price IMHO for someone they consider to be a good fit on their team.

I don't know there were a ton of red flags and people saying it was a bad hire before the season started. I think for a majority of teams that Valentine would not have been in that group.
You may be right that the Red Sox would pay a price but that is because they have shown themselves to be morons over the past 1.5 years. There are plenty of guys they could get that would be good fits and not cost a ridiculous amount.
