    On the one hand a trusted insider is telling us that more is coming, but on the other Jack heard an interview on talk radio, and is telling us it is over.  What to believe...

    I really hope you guys are right.....

     

    BTW Not Cishek and the food accounts are saying that they really like their core and want to extend Giolito and others. Hinted that they might be willing to tear up Anderson's contract to keep him longer.

    You need to stop Jack.  You will literally take one single rumor or data point that happens to be the most pessimistic view possible and just run with it.  How can someone live this way?

    You don't get disappointed if you have very low expectations.

    It's also contradictory to every other single report about the Sox and Hendriks.  Why do you believe one, but not the others?

    Confirmation bias I guess. 

    Idk how they can afford Hendriks and not Brantley. That makes no sense.

    I am just surprised that one Dan Bernstein anonymous report all of the sudden has people jumping off of bridges.  I spent the entire season saying that spending wasn't going to be as high as most expected, but I did figure they would try to make some impact moves at the same time.  I see no reason to think that they aren't going to spend on a closer and really want Hendriks to be it. Even Hahn who has had ample opportunities to say that they are done, has done anything but doing so.

    I didn't think so either, but Bernstein specifically said that they weren't interested in multi-year deals right now. That's contradictory to being interested in Hendriks. 

    I also hope that people realize that in a normal year the Sox do not make the postseason in 2020.

    What does that even mean?

    Do you think it's impossible for another team not to make a better offer?  

    We aren't talking about a 300mil contract here.  

    The Sox have successfully signed free agents before.  

    It means that they're interested at their price, not necessarily anywhere near what the player is actually willing to sign for.

    They’ll wait until more is known about future attendance estimations based on vaccines, he made it seem.

    After hearing that I'd be shocked if Hendriks signed here. I think they're going to go with internal options unless Colome falls into their lap on a 1 year deal. 

    I wouldn't expect much more from the Sox this winter unless they can get some bargains on 1 year deals. Otherwise, what you see now is what you get.

    Bernstein today had a long segment where he brought up a conversation he had with a Sox source. He said all the moves they made/make will only be for one year, and not to expect any multi-year big moves.  Seemed to imply they are considering waiting until the deadline for a closer.  Also said he was told the team would never sign someone to a mega-deal, as they don’t believe it’s worth it (Heyward was the example).  They do have money still to spend, but they’re too nervous about the pandemic to tie it up for more than 2021.

    That would seem to mean no extensions as well. That sucks. 

    I did hear that segment.

    100 million would be effectively full price.  That isn't going to happen.,

    That's my point, and that's what I think it would take to get a deal done. 

    And I think that 85-90M is too close to full price to be in Jerry's comfort zone. 

    I'd be shocked.

    An extension for Giolito if it includes this season is probably going to end up being $85 or 90 million to get a five year deal done.  So even if he doesn't get to $100 million, it is really darned close, and still leaves him the change at another really long deal after his fills this one up.

    I think he'd do it if the total value was in 9 figures. I don't think Jerry would. 

    I think the org really believes in Kopech and Crochet.

    Giolito didn't start with money like Moncada and Robert so he is more likely to want to hit FA.

    Also, Giolito already has money so he can wait for FA.

    Just normal, rational stuff.

    We were all surprised when Moncada and Robert signed. 

    The difference between the two is that Robert and Moncada guaranteed themselves $75M+ in career earnings. In Moncada's case over $100M. Giolito, even with an extension, doesn't get that far. 

    Logic says: if you already have money, why throw some away when you can get more?

    This angle has always been a weird one to me. Just because your parents have money doesn't mean you want to be a grown man piggybacking off your parents wealth. Especially not elite athletes who have very high competitive drives; the last thing they want to do is live off their parents name or money.

    I think extensions have a lot more to do with your personal comfort or drive in the game; do you want to milk every dollar from the game as possible, or do you want to hedge a bit and guarantee that your main job/career sets you up for life. There's arguments to be made for both sides, but I really don't think someones parents wealth dictate extension talks.

    Also, with his performance so far as long as he stays healthy, he's going to make 40M over the next 3 years through arbitration which isn't exactly nothing.

    I remember when we said Moncada and Robert wouldn't sign extensions because they were signed for a lot out of LatAm.

     

    Giolito didn't start his MLB career with 25-30M in their pocket like Moncada and Robert. They're both already likely to have $100M in career earnings. 

    Also Giolito already comes from a wealthy family so he can afford to bet on himself more than other players. 

    I don't see him re-signing unless those 2 years of FA are worth $30M+ per year.

    I completely disagree with you on Giolito. He’s never going to turn down the right guaranteed money if you add a year or two on top of the 3 years the Sox  have him for. 

    There's a huge difference between reaching FA at 29 vs reaching FA at 31.

    Everyone wants to re-sign Giolito but given his age after an extension I just don't see it happening. The Sox would have to pay open market value to sign him and they don't do those types of things. We just have to accept he's gone after 2023 and hope that Kopech/Crochet develop into that ace to replace him.
