February 5, 20215 yr If Giolito keeps getting better and potentially wins a Cy Young, after Bauer got what he got, there’s no way Giolito is here after 3 years right
February 5, 20215 yr 20 minutes ago, Cashman said: If Jerry is still running this organization in 3yrs, Giolito will be traded. So will every starter worth their salt that won't give us a major hometown discount.

February 5, 20215 yr They could offer him now 7/120. This would buy out the 3 arb years (maybe 35m or so combined) and then give them 4 more years which would make him a FA at age 32 and gives him another chance for a good payday.

I think the plan is, offering Lynn a 2yr extension, hoping Ceasing makes a jump this year(although he turned down an extension), and hoping Kopech makes a leap to lessen the trading of Giolito. I would guess, they offer Kopech an extension sometime between now and next offseason. This team is set up for a 3yr window with a lot of things.

Again, just because he hasn't signed one, doesn't mean they haven't offered an extension.

Same problem with Lynn, there’s no way he’s signing an extension after seeing that money. Edited February 5, 20215 yr by Sockin

I am pretty sure Cease was offered one, and declined. I am not going to play the possible vs probable game. There is a precedence with Jerry and signing pitchers. It is not going to happen with Giolito. It is going to be a Sale 2.0 kind of trade.

At best, you’re going to get 5 years (two extra years of control) because Reinsdorf doesn’t trust long-term deals for ANY pitchers. And they’re not going to be confident in any contention window extending beyond 2025.
February 5, 20215 yr I’m not going to spend the next 3 years freaking out about losing Giolito. Between the new CBA, possibly a new owner and Giolito not exactly having a long track record of success, a lot fan chance over the next 36 months.

I think we’re pretty much a top 3 destination this decade. Hahn has a lot of cost certainty with those brilliant extensions no other team is doing. Let’s let it play out. So far, A+ across the board

There are to many variables that can affect that right now or as they say "we have bigger fish to fry."

February 6, 20215 yr Who cares if they want to keep him they will keep him . Pretty simple, I do think they intend to keep lynn he is older and won’t command anything like Giolito. Sox need to decide. Up to them but we have him for a couple more years and if we win then great. Job done .
