I think it’s around $122 million.

If the choice is Covey or Fulmer, I’d still keep Fulmer. Covey is two years older and has 150 more innings pitched of bad than Fulmer.

I thought it was that Keuchel had to pitch 160+ innings in each of the second and third years of the contract for the fourth year option to vest? 😐 If that was the case, it would be reasonable to think Keuchel could get the fourth year to vest unless the Sox manipulated his starts/innings. I don’t think that was being negative. Obviously, this is a much better deal than what was originally being reported.

Free Balling just wants some answers.

Obama and Carmen Electra as well. They must have needed a few bucks.

Yeah, it would suck to not win a playoff game in back-to-back years without our amazing front office and head coach... oh wait. 😂

Rutherford wouldn’t be a top 10 prospect on many teams and he is quickly falling out of that range with the Sox if he can’t even maintain a .750 OPS in the minors. He is still living off of his high draft pick status without any actual production.

Kevin White, Adam Shaheen, Mitch Trubisky... Pace would’ve wasted the draft pick anyways. How this guy is still employed is amazing.

$3 million isn’t exactly expensive for a reliever these days.

For two years of a good reliever, I think it’s a good trade.

Good riddance. He is a worse Ryan Sweeney. Zero power. He probably won’t even make the majors. Getting two years of Givens for him would be fine.

You mean like what our manager did last year? This is what I meant earlier. “Speedy” guy with a crappy OBP and Renteria used him as a leadoff man.

Agreed but OBP won’t be the only reason he eventually leads off. Renteria is old school and thinks that speedy guys should lead off regardless of their OBP.

Speedy little fast guy who makes contact? Yes. Once he gets situated toward the bottom of the lineup, Renteria will likely fall in love and move him to leadoff.

It’s amazing how guys like Heyman, Morosi, etc. have input from sources on moves that teams are making but Steve Stone would not.

Stone should start doing eyeballs.

Why is he a non-entity to any fans younger than 35? Is he out of touch with younger fans because he’s older? If that’s the case, the majority of announcers are in the same boat as Stone. Stone tweets about the Sox and even replies to fans questions. He appears to be staying in touch to me. Besides, Benetti couldn’t carry Stone’s jockstrap.

Don’t worry. No team would give up 6 years of a top catching prospect for a reliever when there are plenty to sign for chump change.

Agreed with everything.

It’s as bad as Greg and his Tim Anderson at catcher idea. I agree that no one could be this clueless but what does the troll get out of it? Watching the world burn like Joker?

I think it likely has more to do with the Marlins and their offer to Puig. They are cheap. It was probably a lowball offer.

The Marlins? Definitely.

Not a bad deal. That’s probably around what Mazara will earn if he is here for two seasons via arbitration.

Puig might be running out of options. The Marlins just signed Corey Dickerson to a 2-year deal. It will be interesting to see how much money Dickerson received.
