Man this lineup is going to be fun to watch. Fearsome!

Very fair for both sides. I like this signing.

I bet Grandal thinks Ryu is a great pitcher if he could stay healthy. Pretty much what every person in baseball thinks. I hope we take our best shot with him...if we win that gamble he's a terrific pickup.

Perfect placeholder for Kopech and will be there if anyone else struggles. Nice signing.

No I don't want to pay Price 18 million per year for 3 years. I don't want to pay Keuchel or Ryu for 4 years. Looks like we are going to need to pick someone who is a bit of a gamble.

Don't count out Lopez. He shows his stuff frequently. Control is the unknown for all of them and I love having Grandal & McCann working with them.

Boston should expect to send roughly 42 million in cash...and expect zero by way of players in return.

I think I'll take the over on Eloy. He's going to be a monster. The whole lineup offers protection for each other.

The more I have read up on Mazara the more I'm liking that signing. Might me the sneaky move of the offseason.

Where have you been Heads...haven't seen that word used in months.

I would certainly hope so.

Money would be the main piece IMO.

With Keuchel's experience last year...a bird in hand should have some appeal.

A strong BP can carry us a long way. Betances and Harris would be great additions. With our lineup we won't be out of many games.

I still believe Keuchel is our primary target and will eventually sign with us in the neighborhood of 3 years for 55 million. Boras will not hold out till the edge of the cliff again.

Price will not cost any trade chips much less a good one. He is strictly a money deal.

Extreme but justified.

Price is probably worth 45 million for us. His contract has 92 million remaining. So if this is for Price alone...give us Price + 47 million. We give Boston payroll relief plus our best wishes. Betts or Benintendi have some value but that value is something like Fulmer & 10 million.

No crap!

I think this is correct. Kopech, Dunning and Rodon all come aboard this year at various points. Surly not going to give up Madrigal or Vaughn because Price can get us to the promise land.

I would take my best shot at Ryu and Kuechel.

You are saying it nicer than I would.

Talk about a non starter!

He's wide awake and flying under the radar.?

He's a good one if healthy.
