Why did he ever agree to this?

Such a good deal. I love Carrasco. Not consistently great, but always feels like someone who could get especially hot at the right time.

If the Sox do love their chances at signing him, then perhaps we have some sort of framework that Bryce/Boras have already expressed some interest in. Maybe it's the Albert Belle top 3 paid player no matter what thing

 

I like this idea. I still think the Sox have less than a 5% chance to actually sign Harper or Machado. Maybe thinking outside of the box makes sense here. Ideas:

  • clause to make top 5-10 paid player in mlb, or top 3 OF in the league for a duration in the contract
  • deferred revenue over a time period
  • HEAVILY front-loaded contract to the tune of something silly like $60mm in year one when we likely won't compete - then like $30mm for years 2-5 with opt-out.
  • ownership/equity stake in the sox
  • attendance clause/escalator - I think Encarncion had one of these in Cleveland
  • other?
