100000%. Can't believe I got my hopes up again lol

I don't think anyone was coming that close to $73M for Grandal, IMO.

We needed his brother in law!

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.
