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.

Lmao "First off: I love Jerry Reinsdorf. How come the Sox haven't been a high budget team?" Hmmmmmmmmmm

That already started last week.

Right. Plenty of rebuilding teams that could look to sign and flip him in July.

It wouldn't be too crazy to see them signed to minor league deals, right?

Other than 2 games (I recall), he was good. Pretty much pitched every game that post-season. No one else in that pen could have had the success he did (yes, I acknowledge he had a bad game 7).

I'm thinking he goes for 5/$110 but kinda feel like he might get a 6th year (at least as a team option).

Based on what? It's not crazy for the third best SP option to be on the market early Decemeber lol this board sometimes.

Fair point lol

Suarez coming off a 4.5 WAR year with 49 homers needs a rejuvenated year? ha

I don't think he's implying that it's good or bad. Just throwing a potential lineup together as other people do after a signing.

Must be planning on the DH being in the NL in another year or two haha

Like the move? Like it was a possibility at all he would be non-tendered? lol

Eventually, someone will be right!
