No one knows. Henry seemed to be 100% in favor of it and made comments about not wanting to make the same mistake they made with Lester. To me if anyone should be blamed for Sale it's whoever examined his left arm before the deal was signed.
-
I think it's all about striking a balance. And Zombie Apocalypse is certainly one of the factors in the calculation. -
Realistic Expectations R Us

But if he plays well the price tag might go up $80 million. That's the rub.
-
And that insane throw he made this year. I don't think he lacks in brute strength.

Well said. And LOL on the bolded part. -
We've been over this a bunch of times. If Sale had a great season this year he would have been a free agent looking for $200 million plus. The extension has a present value of $128 million. So in a perfect world, the extension was fantastic. But it ain't a perfect world, and Dr. Andrews will soon tell us how screwed we are.
-
In Henry and Bloom I trust to make him the right offer. Nothing else we can do.
-
Maybe Severino is an injury-prone guy too. It's all speculative at this point.
-
Mookie has super quick twitch muscles and, I assume, very strong wrists and forearms. That's where he gets his power from.
-
The Yankees 2019 offensive numbers were like our 2013 offensive numbers - a huge number of guys having career years or close to it.
-
Jax, all that really matters is the 4-1 score in my sig line held this year.
-
Some weaknesses in the Yankees pen were exposed in the postseason. Ottavino and Green were brutal.
-
I've come to a conclusion...the idea of trading Mookie makes me nauseous.
-
You just made my head spin like a Tilt-a-Whirl.
-
There was a lot of speculation it was a different ball in the postseason. In other words, it may already be changed.
-
Yeah, the analytics keep getting better but the players seem to keep getting more fragile and harder to predict LOL

Playing Red Sox GM: salary dump time!

FWIW MLBTR's prediction for Rendon is 7/235. -
Sox pres said that a while ago too. We're all just guessing and speculating our butts off here. It's all just for entertainment purposes.
-
Having given this some more thought, I believe that the real issue for the Sox is if JD opts out after 2020. In that case I think we will get whacked with a 'true-up' adjustment of 5.25 million, because he got paid 71.25 million over 3 years. So the payroll numbers would be as follows: 2018 22 2019 22 2020 27.25 Total 71.25 That would be an ouch.

Wins Above Sam Horn (or any S.H.) would be WASH Wins Above Steve Pearce would be WASP
-
If I'm not mistaken, Lester said something about being traded not helping matters for the Sox. But if the reported numbers are true, our final offer was 6/135 and the Cubs tacked on an additional 20, so it seems like it was just a case of the Cubs being willing to pay whatever it took.
-
There should be no change in the calculations. JD didn't opt out. So in effect nothing happened. If he had opted out and then signed a new deal like Chapman did, there would be some adjustments. It's all a bit confusing, needless to say.
-
Peter Abraham's piece about JD not opting out says that JD's AAV for 2020 will now be 23.75 mill instead of 22 mill. Which makes no sense whatsoever and which I believe is dead wrong.
-
And he's itching to finally get paid.
