Means people don't want to play for you yet, despite what some may say here.

But people want to play for the Sox! ...or so I was told.

Good point.

LOL

How much more? Phillies: "We offer you $118M!" Sox: "We offer you 118M....and one penny!"

God I don't want Bumgarner nor Keuchel. Thanks a lot Jerry.

Watch it be like 4/80 with incentives.

It's only $2 mill more a year than what a lot on here said they would do.

I would agree if I thought they would go after Cole and/or Strasburg.

One thing is for certain: posters here need to stop acting like they know what other teams can and cannot afford.

Don't have to worry about that...

There was some other list I saw yesterday on Twitter that showed pitches that were called balls that were either a ball's length off or over the plate and Wheeler was on the list. I don't know if it was ordered from most to least or not but Reynaldo Lopez had the top spot.

There's a lot of interesting options out there that got non-tendered. Wish the last couple off-seasons would have had those kind of guys when we were tanking.

Fuck it. Go 6/$120m and frontload it the first few seasons.

Yep. Crushed their former highest contract by a whopping $5 mill in the year 2019.

Do you guarantee a 6th year or go with like a 7.5 mill team buyout?

$120/130 mill is a lot for "potential."

They definitely won't be in play for 2 of them. And the teams in on Wheeler (and probably a couple more) should be in on Ryu. Less years and money, better, no draft pick.

Lol I don't think it does. I meant to say "even if true" rather than "while true." Back to the topic. The Sox haven't screwed up anything. Can't force a guy to sign in November when he has a ton of suitors.

Then zero reason for him to accept in November.

Even if true, the "sign me now in November" price could be like 6/$130 mill for all we know. It would be stupid for them to say "we will sign now for 5/100" when that offer is likely there in December and January.

Wheeler or bust. They won't spend on Cole or Strasburg and I don't want Bumgarner or Keuchel.

Wasn't there a tweet yesterday that mentioned the Sox only want to do 4 years? Honestly, that would be the most believable thing we've read so far lol

$$$$$$$$$

I don't think he's hinting at all.
