Same.

Correct. The point is, IF Sale had had a strong 2019, like Lester did in 2014, he could have gotten a lot more. It's also worth noting that the deferred money in Sale's contract reduced the present value down to $128 million and an AAV of $25.6 million.
-
You don't need to be a math whiz to know our chances our slim. Here's the thing, though. If the Sox get really lucky they might get to within 4 games going to September. Would anyone really think it was over being 4 games back with a month to go? Of course if we fall to 8 back instead we're toast.
-
Cora was trying to win last night's game, which was absolutely the right thing to do.
-
DD might lose his job but it won't be because of Sale. John Henry was 200% on board with this, as his comments about blowing it with Lester made eminently clear.
-
It would not have cost us a dime if we wanted him back, means what, exactly?
-
Let's not forget that Ottavino didn't just get 9 million, he got 9 million times 3 = 27 million. That said, Ottavino looks like a great signing for the Yanks at the moment. Probably the best of the larger contracts given out to relievers this offseason, I guess.
-
Mike Trout is a god among baseball players. But the fact that he has surpassed his personal HR record on August 20 this season is just more evidence of the rocket ball.
-
Well, he did post a .901 OPS for us in 50 regular season games last year. Not too shabby.
-
Even Kimmi liked the JDM contract.
-
Papi treated us extremely well. I think he could have gotten a bit more on the open market. I think we were pretty happy with the JDM contract.
-
Depends what you mean by a good relief pitcher.
-
C'mon, let's be reasonable. Pearce's contract was less than 10% of Nate's. It had a minor impact.
-
Nope. Papi made $16 mill in each of his last 2 years, 2015 and 2016.
-
Mr. Shithappens was a major culprit that year.
-
Wrong, wrong, absolutely wrong. It was $95 mill...
-
Brian Johnson last started on August 14, so I assume it's him. Who else could it be?
-
22 mill is fine when he's this good. EVERYBODY liked signing JD at that price.
-
Yes, yes, I knew that was coming LOL But Ottavino has pitched about equally in the 6th, 7th and 8th and has been the guy regularly used in those high leverage situations prior to the 9th and with men on base, so he does contradict your position.
-
JD - 5 years @ 22 mill average He has opt-outs after this year and next. He was a fine signing by DD.
-
Everybody loves Devers and XBo right now. With good reason. But it wasn't always so. What have ya done for me lately? is the cry of most fans.
-
Most of the guys on the team were in a parade last year IIRC Benintendi shouldn't be going anywhere, for one thing. There's been talk of trading him. I think that's pure nuttiness.
-
It is a skill, no question. But the fact that the catcher can steal strikes by how he frames the pitch is not really a good argument against robot umps-IMHO
-
The opt out thing is over with. He's ours.
-
Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
