Yeah the numbers seem right, if you want a solid #3 it'll cost you $70m.

Ryu (33 years old) is looking at his final contract. I can see him already getting offers for 3/50. Most likely still negotiating with teams to get that guaranteed 4th year. (4/70)

Not buying the 4/80 claim by Ken

Knowing the Sox (if they are even bothering) they will offer a ridiculous incentive laden deal.

Ah, yes....more StreetFighter II references. 

If you remember, Ken and Ryu were basically the same character....no difference between them. Ken had the Haudoken as well. 

No, Ken’s shoryyken uppercut moved across the screen, while Ryu’s went straight up, covering far less distance.  Which made Ryu a pale imitation of the guy you really wanted.  Wait...

So do you go 4 years for Ryu if that's what it takes?

I really don't know, it would depend how confident they are in someone else. I suppose the one benefit is if he can't pitch he likely can't play and you are getting at least 70% of that deal on insurance, and we don't have lux tax concerns.

Probably need a considerable buyout for that to be attractive.

Yeah, I don't think I'd go to the 4th year without some incentive in the 3rd year of actually being able to pitch. If Ryu dies in year 2, that would just hurt this teams window too much to hold him for two more dead years. Even if the buyout was 5-7 million that would be fine.

Ryu had a better Hadouken than Ken.  That's the difference between them, uppercut vs fireball.

I just dont get it. Its gonna take 4 years to get Ryu. Period. We have pages and pages of how bad Hahn sucks, sitting on his hands, not going out and getting pitching. Yet we debate whether or not it's worth it to go a fourth year on Ryu, even the guys who've been adamant about the last years of a pitchers deal being the price you pay for pitching. It's ok for us, but if Hahn absolutely doesnt want to go 4 years and doesnt sign him because that's what it takes, then do we just go back to complaining about how hes not getting any pitching?

Being too risk averse, makes your team win averse.

Yes, giving him 4 years is probably crazy. But so is giving Wheeler 5 years and $125 million, and this guy was the better pitcher. 

If you are going to sign someone near the top of the free agent class, you aren't going to get a bargain. If the Sox need some sort of obvious "value" on every signing, their signings will be guys closer to the bottom than the top.
