This is the one mistake the Sox made that no matter how hard I try, I can't stop being bitter about it.

They already have him cheap and under control for 5 more years. Unless the 320 mill is a exaggeration. Robert's is 88 mill with the options. Acuna's is 100 mill. Maybe the real offer is closer to 120 million? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the real offer is closer to 120 million? He's already got 2 years down. He's got one cheap year left before arb, so we are talking about 7 free agent years starting when he is 25. Trout got 35 a year for his FA years in his last deal. Cole averaged 36. 7 years at 36 per works out to 252 million. Build in a little bit of inflation to make it 40 mil a year at 2025 and that is 280 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the real offer is closer to 120 million? Padres have him for 4 more years. They would be paying for 7 years of free agency, which he could enter at the age of what, 25? Gotta offer an instance amount now to keep him if you think he will continue to be a star. Edited January 10, 2021 by manbearpuig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I remember the days when Soxtalk wanted Benitendi more than anything and took the Red Sox trading us Moncada instead as a sign that something wasn't kosher.
