Players would probably need an agent just to review the contract tho.
-
Every player would receive a boiler plate contract then? No free jet usage for ARod? No no-trade clauses or anything?
-
I believe they can go for it now and still have a legitimate shot every year (at least as legitimate of a shot as 2014 - 2015) because I believe they can re-sign everyone they want to.
-
So if there isn't an injury risk and he was just a late bloomer a la Bautista, I see no problem with the signing.
-
MLB Trade Rumors have not even speculated at any other teams that could be involved in JD bidding for quite a while. The Sox have a 5 year offer on the table. "There is word" that another 5 year offer exists, but it's most likely from the Mystery Team from Unknown Parts that Boras seems to deal with every offseason since it hasn't been attached to any team as of yet. Therefore, the Sox have the highest offer on the table.

He's busy critiquing the Good Doctor with his pals.
-
Nope. He was the highest paid 2b at the time the ink was dried.
-
Stephen Fife is winning the lottery?
-
You can make the case that a cliff doesn't exist, but that article definitely didn't do it for me.
-
From all of us dumbasses that watch 162 games and buy tickets and buy swag etc.
-
I don't see a correlation to someone not wanting the QO and having an offer pulled. I don't remember Drew having an offer pulled???
-
-
Drew doesn't have anything to do with JD Martinez tho?
-
Wouldn't everyone rather have a great shot at a ring in the next two years than maybe a shot 5-9 years from now?
-
Find me a source that says they aren't. Actually, find me a source of which specific team has made an offer to JD aside from the Sox,
-
What about them? If Sale hits FA, sign someone else. If Pom hits FA, sign someone else. Or try developing pitching for once? 1st base is always an easy fill. There is never a lack of FA's. 2nd base isn't a concern for me. The Sox have found a ton of IF guys that are good enough (i.e. Marco Hernandez).
-
Oh, well, he's just a dum dum sometimes.
-
I'm glad I wasn't a part of whatever hellscape you guys and gals were posting at. That sounds terrible. SBF probably didn't like him because Beltre struggled offensively with the Dodgers at times (even though he was basically a 3 WAR player every year). He had a career year in 04 and then went to the Mariners were he "struggled again" (for different reasons). Then Beltre had another resurgence in 10. SBF is the type of guy who believes players can force themselves to have career years when playing for a contract (though we know that's not the case). He probably just thought it was a fluke season. To me, it was worth the risk to have a HOF 3b for a while.
-
That last sentence is all mine. The last place finishes proves that "they're the freaking Red Sox" is a meaningless sentiment.
-
The problem being is that JBJ, Beni and Xander won't be max $$$ deals. They are going to be cheap enough to re-sign. The early speculation was "how could we sign all these guys to $20M AAV deals", but I don't think the majority of them will even sniff $15M. Once Panda and Hanley's contracts are off the books, you can re-sign Xander and JBJ and Mookie if they want to.
-
Why? What brings you to this conclusion? Over and over again we're being told that the Sox are the highest bidder. Boras has a history of waiting until the end of January for his big FA's.
-
Make him a DH and there is a higher chance he stays healthy.
-
And everything else has just been speculation during a slow offseason.
-
I agree with the sentiment, but don't say s*** like this: "They’re the freaking Red Sox, full stop." The freaking Red Sox were in last damn place 3 out of 4 years. They aren't infallible.
-
Not on here. It was a one year deal. A flier on a top end talent that struggled offensively in a s***** hitter's park. At worst, you were getting a gold glove at 3b for one year.
