100 million would be effectively full price. That isn't going to happen.,

An extension for Giolito if it includes this season is probably going to end up being $85 or 90 million to get a five year deal done. So even if he doesn't get to $100 million, it is really darned close, and still leaves him the change at another really long deal after his fills this one up.

Full stop. What? Garrett Crochet was a consensus first round pick. You aren't a first round pick if you aren't "highly thought of"

That's not right. I was told he was not called up because he was hitting .100 and we didn't know it.

He has two to three more years of a deal to cover before he hits free agency. There is no reason to think something like a 4 to 5 year deal can't be worked out. No it won't be as cheap as the guys who sign right away, but it will still contain potential for cost savings as well as keeping him off of the open market.

Giolito is the biggest one I am worried about. If you can get Lynn to a shorter deal without going crazy, say a year or two, sure. Vaughn would also be another nice one to wrap up. Past that? Would Crochet listen, or do the Sox send him down to stretch him out for later?

Maybe the pitchers just need to be edgier and grindier.

And most importantly, where to send donations.

Read Isaacs Storm if you want something interesting about the 1900 hurricane.

Wait, so bringing divisive people into the mix can cause divisions? Huh.

Lugo?

MLB ranks the Phills farm system at #23, and their payroll is already maxed out. Not sure what is left for him to do.

You seem awful knowledgeable here.

I didn't even realize he was still around.

Finally.

The Grinch is my personal favorite.

Seems solid to me.

If you can convince me that in the worst free agent market ever, someone is willing to take on that contract, sure.
