December 9, 201411 yr The Red Sox have apparently offered Masterson a multi-year deal. That's multi years more than I would offer him.

December 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 03:03 PM) What do you mean, the red sox rotation is gonna be good once they trade Mookie Betts for Sale straight up They can use the cash the White Sox send along with Sale to sign Masterson.
December 9, 201411 yr Multi year offer doesn't mean much of anything to me. Frankly, I'd have no problem signing Masterson to a 2 year, $8 million deal because I think he can get a 1 year, $8 million deal. Depending on the AAV, that might be a really bad deal for him.

December 10, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 06:20 PM) White Sox aren't interested in Betts or Bogaerts Kyle. They want a package headed by Marrero and Owens. I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now because I was wrong
December 10, 201411 yr Can you imagine if we got Masterson? We might have the best rotation in Sox history, OK modern Sox history. Sale, Q, Samardja, Masterson (if he rebounds), Danks (if he continues to rebound). All those other guys in the bullpen? Robin could have some amazing options.

December 10, 201411 yr QUOTE (toasty @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:06 PM) 2005 says hello. Or 1983. Or 1959. Or 1915-1919. McDowell, Alex Fernandez, Wilson Alvarez, Jason Bere and Greg Hibbard would disagree, too.

December 11, 201411 yr @jcrasnick: Justin Masterson is getting close on a deal with unspecified team, said a source at winter meetings.
December 11, 201411 yr I hope it's Masterson on a 1-year deal, the idea being to flip him midseason if the Sox are out of it, moving Rodon in to the rotation.

December 11, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:35 PM) Hibbard and Bere weren't teammates, but yeah, 1993 was solid. lol

QUOTE (toasty @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:06 PM) 2005 says hello. 2005 is one of the GOAT staffs and you'd be hard pressed to convince me otherwise. But Greg is right. Sale, Q, Samardzija and two of Masterson, Danks or Rodon could be dominant.

Sale, Q, Samardzija and two of Masterson, Danks or Rodon could be dominant. 2005 Rotation fWAR ranks: Buehrle 4, Garcia 19, Garland 34, Contreras 38, Hernandez 98 Pick up one more good starter and cobble a good year out of Noesi/Rodon in the 5 spot and 2015 could blow 2005 out of the water. Bullpen is a different story. Of all the components of the 2005 team, the bullpen is the all-time epic unit.
December 11, 201411 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 10:57 AM) @Buster_ESPN: The Red Sox have an agreement with Justin Masterson. I think it was Tuesday when we heard they had offered him a multi-year deal. Wonder what the numbers are.

For someone who loves that 05 team so much, you really forgot about that pitching staff... And Masterson would not make this rotation that much better. If he bounces back, sure, but the issues he had last year were very alarming. Decrease in velocity, bad control, just being bad in general.
