If he was a free agent right now, my guess would be a one-year offer for 5 million, with additional amounts based on starts or appearances.
-
And DD gets the prize for playoff appearances. DD 3/4 .750 Theo 6/9 .667 Ben 1/4 .250
-
Roberts has been told he's returning.
-
Of course. That's why I say the real onus is/was on the docs. I also wonder if there was any discussion on having some sort of medical clause in the contract, like with Lackey's and others. Needless to say, players and their agents hate that s***.
-
Could we get into a bidding war with the Dodgers? That might be fun.
-
I think we all do now. But it's very common for players to say they will negotiate an extension in the offseason, but not once the season starts. Obviously that puts more risk on the team, but should lower the amount of the contract.
-
As you know, DD stands for Destruction and Decimation.
-
Curt Schilling is interested in the job. (Not a joke.)
-
We know that Henry was fully on board with that. He was the one who said they didn't want to repeat the mistake they made with Lester. And if Sale was 100% Chris Freakin' Sale, it was a discount deal. I just can't understand how the docs could fail to detect his arm issues. Do we have substandard equipment or something?
-
It's a phase in the cycle and it's temporary and fixable. The Cubs have had a similar dip in their rankings over the last several years too, I think. I believe the Yankees have also had a significant recent dip with all the trades they've made.
-
It wasn't me who started all the destroyed/decimated the farm s***. If others will stop with it I gladly will too.
-
I believe that over the course of history, farmers have traded harvested crops for other goods.

I'm not sure why "traded" doesn't still work.
-
I think it's a little weird to look at it that every time you trade a prospect for an MLB player you're doing something destructive. Especially when it's a good, fair trade.
-
Yes, non FA's tend to be cheaper...
-
Baseball America bumped us up to #22 in their year end rankings. That's not far from #20.
-
Not sure I get your point. Let me ask this: when DD traded Moncada and Kopech for Sale, would you call that an act of destruction?
-
notin, I have said over and over, I'm not disputing that part. All I have been saying is that the contract, taken on its own, was a favorable one.
-
There are DEGREES of destruction. Can we all at least agree on that?
-
Put it this way: If Papelbon could get 4 years @ 12.5 = 50 after 2012, what would Kimbrel have gotten on the open market after 2015? I think it's very reasonable to estimate he would have gotten at least 4 years @ 15 = 60. That's still 20 and 26 mill less than Jansen and Chapman got the following year.
-
Vaporized?
-
That was just the happenstance of the timing. Put it in context with the deals received by other established, elite closers. Not just Chapman, Jansen, and Davis which came after, but Papelbon's 4 year, 50 million deal which came after 2012.
-
OK. It all depends on what principles you're using to assess things. By the same token: Pedroia's last extension was a good one for the team at the time. Yay Ben! But in hindsight it was a disaster. Ben sucks!
-
FWIW the Rays did take the last 2 from the Yanks in September, although the Yanks were on cruise control at that point. I wouldn't count out the Rays if they do make it. They have an amazing knack of playing a lot better than they look. There is definitely some good game planning and coaching going on there.
