The Bogey extension gave us 3 more years of him, not one more year. -
It is very confusing, I must admit. As of now the Sox have him under control for 2 years. You're saying you would guarantee him $200 million if he doesn't opt out, but you would give him an opt out after year 3, which is only one additional year for us? If that's the case, I'm saying I don't think there have been any other extensions like this.
-
Good news, thanks.
-
Yikes, now that's an example of hope not being a strategy. That's just hoping for the Randomness God to give you a favorable roll of the dice.
-
So you might be guaranteeing him an additional $200 million but you're only guaranteed to have him for 1 additional year. I really don't think any team would do this. I don't think there have been any 6-7 year deals with opt-outs after 1 year. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
-
Would you really give him a 6-7 year extension that he can opt out of after 1 year? To me that would be idiocy and malfeasance.
-
I agree with mvp that an opt-out after 2027 or 2028 would be bad business on the Sox part. 2029 is the earliest it's even worth considering.
-
Now I think you're getting a little excitable. It remains to be seen if Ohtani can even continue pitching.
-
I think the real question is, do steroids ever prevent injuries?
-
I could use some elaboration on this point too! 🙂
-
I think you would need to flesh out that point a bit.
-
I think Alex Cora would collapse in a pool of tears if they take the Refsnyder Lefty-Masher Option away from him.
-
Fragile Freddy. Fans have zero sympathy for guys who get hurt by playing hard. But they also hate loafers.
-
I assume swinging harder can also translate to higher exit velocity. Think Raffy's legendary HR off Chapman. Raffy swings very hard and he had shoulder issues last year. I'm thinking of him too, not just Casas.
-
Personally I'm not a big fan of opt-outs. They kind of hang over the contract almost from the get-go.
-
I think he meant 3 years from the start of the extension.
-
Weirdly enough, it seems to be baseball of all the major sports that has seen a rise in injury rates, as some guys continue to throw the ball harder and others try to hit it harder...
-
And the Sox exercised his 2025 option at a little over $2 million. He's definitely in the plans.
-
Looks like Triston should have accepted the extension offer he got.
-
Looks like Fried's contract has no opt-out, just a no-trade clause.
-
Opt-out mania! It'd be interesting to see many long-term deals now have NO opt-out.
-
I do think Campbell has a shot at opening day 2B if he impresses bigly in spring opportunities.
-
Especially since they seem very busy trying to work out a trade for him.
-
They have to get a deal done and I'm pretty sure they will. It's mandatory after what they've invested in him and their need for a TOTR fixture.

Right. I could be wrong here but I think Ohtani is the one who really made it clear he only wanted to play on the West Coast when he chose the Halos.
