Contract breakdown looks like this:

 

'16- $17.6M

'17-$17.6M

'18- $18.6M

'19- $18.6M

'20- Option for $17M with $5M buyout

 

So that's more or less $77M over 4 years. How much would Boston have to eat to get you to bite on Sandoval?

 

 

 

 

Honestly I don't think I want him at any price. He would just clog up DH for five years.

77M, give or take.

 

The Red Sox can keep their Kung Fu Teletubby.

Another testimonial to the brilliance of General Managers.

It would take the type of deal that saw the Rangers take back Hamilton.

If Boston pays $76,999,999

A majority stake in ownership of Panda Express.

Seriously, is this guy trying to eat his way out of baseball? WTF? Sandoval could pass for Fat Bastard's stunt double in the Austin Powers movies.

Again, the Kung Fu Teletubby.

A majority stake in ownership of Panda Express.

 

Blech. Pass.

Wouldnt touch with a 10 ft pole. This organization is in pretty decent shape, no reason to f*** it up with someone like that.

Honestly I don't think I want him at any price. He would just clog up DH for five years.

And the toilets!

I'd eat $5M. I think Panda can still be a decent ballplayer, but I wouldn't take any more than that.

NO.

This. If we took the remaining years at say $6 mill over the entirety, then maybe. But probably still no.

It is funny how some people wanted the Sox to sign him a year ago, and now they do not want to touch him with a 10 foot pole.

Thats ok Boston. bye bye now

Couldn't remember if I was on record as wanting Panda...

 

Sandoval, despite being a switch hitter, also has the same platoon disadvantage as Conor. Career-long it isn't nearly as pronounced, but it was pretty severe in 2014. Worth watching, and I don't think he's a good target.

He cratered to .197/.234/.231 against lefties in 2015. Phew.

 

I promise I'll do this if I ever think of something I was wrong about.

Why? Stuff changes, mostly his wasteline.

He would gain weight like those people on My 600 lb. life when he was playing for a contract. Now that he is guaranteed, there is no stopping that belly. His signing being a mistake was an easy thing to see before it happened.

And to be fair, literally no one thought signing Sandoval at anywhere near what Boston bid was a good idea. No one.

Was lukewarm on it due to Semien and rental nature.

 

Here, I'll save you further effort.

 

Love it, [signing Melky Cabrera] is my favorite move of the offseason. This team didn't have a #2 hitter and now it got the best one available. And I would have been fine with Melky at 4/$60, having to go three years is an early Hannukah miracle.
