Well before the Werth signing I would have agreed 8 years was too much. But with Boras raising the bar for every FA soon to be FA out their with that albatross, the Sox may be a little more willing to deal. I think he wants 8, the Sox want 6, they will settle on 7(This off season or next). I think the Sox where trying to get a "deal" and they where hoping Agon would flinch first in the extension window period. But he didn't and now Theo knows he will have to offer that extra year if he wants to extend him.
Again let's just let this run out. Either that or GoBruins is going to be jerking off to all of us bickering with each other all night long. And why give him the gratification?
