8/19 vs. Angels

[Station 13]

This team continues to ride Ortiz and Beltre's backs.

 

What'll it take to keep them both here next year?

15 MIL a year for Beltre and 10-12 for Ortiz with a 3-4 year contract

Ortiz deal will be 2-3 years max.

[WhiskeyBreath]

They have a 12MM team option for Ortiz. Why give him additional years when they don't have to?

Uh because Ortiz can opt out if he wants , if he dosent like the deal that he's offered and feels he can get more onthe market he'll opt out

[WhiskeyBreath]

Nobody is going to pay Ortiz bigger money than that.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Are you sure Ortiz has the ability to become a free agent when the team holds that club option? I can't see to find a site with info about it.

Only if option is not exercise.

that dosent keep them in a Sox uni , If so I'm sure Theo would jump on that right away

[WhiskeyBreath]

Nice stop by Adrian. Saved a run. Double play please.

[WhiskeyBreath]

And just like that Beckett gives the game away. Holy s***

[Palodios]

Oh, okay, I was surprised for a while there. There's the Beckett we all know and love.

[redsoxrules]

I knew this wouldn't last from Beckett

f***

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Come on Beckett. 4-1 Angels now.

[a700hitter]

Get him out of there fast. Don't wait for 7 runs. We can't afford to give away any more games. Beckett has been a bucket of s*** this season.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Only chance they have now is getting into the Angels bullpen. Probly won't matter much anyway considering how poor their offense has been tonight.

but that's Tito's limit for Beckett

[Station 13]

Damn that was quick...

No Ellsbury, Pedroia and Youkilis. Lack of production from the offense is not surprising.

... it is damn infuriating.

[WhiskeyBreath]

No Ellsbury' date=' Pedroia and Youkilis. Lack of production from the offense is not surprising.[/quote']

 

Agreed. The loss of Ellsbury doesn't matter to me at this point though.

It is a cumulative effect.

Good point. But why would they spend more than 18-22/2 to keep him? Where's he going to go?

[a700hitter]

We have not even worked the count on Santana.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Come on Beltre tie this game!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Or not....

[WhiskeyBreath]

No idea who would sign him. Looking back at the deals guys like Vlad and Matsui got, Ortiz would actually benefit from the club option being exercised.
