It's not $30 million a year. It's either $155 million for 6 years = $25.83 million average, or $170 million for 7 years if the option vests = $24.29 million average.
-
Cueto would be a better deadline chip.
-
I can see the Reds dealing a pitcher, sure. I just don't think they deal Cueto before the 2015 trade deadline unless it's a premium package coming back. The All-Star Game is in Cincy this year too.
-
Still doesn't make sense. You're cutting your payroll, so you trade away your ace, but you get back a guy who will be gone the next year unless you pay him a bundle.
-
It would certainly make sense for us. I'm trying to see how it would make sense for them to acquire a guy with one year of control who is clearly looking for the big payday after 2015.
-
OK, and not trying to be difficult here, but my post which you replied to was only about Cueto.
-
I don't understand why the Reds would trade Cueto for Cespedes, who is a free agent after 2015 too.
-
Greinke has an opt-out after 2015. The Tigers have said he's their #1 priority. Don't overlook the Giants. Too many things would have to go right.
-
Scherzer is a pipe dream.
-
Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Tigers may all be in on Scherzer. The real question is how high the Sox will go on Shields, IMO.
-
Why on earth would the Reds want to hand over Cueto this offseason without a lot of goodies in return?
-
You really think he's going to only get $5 million more than Lester? I'll be shocked if that happens.
-
You'd need a lot of top prospects going the other way to land Hamels and Cueto.
-
I'm not at all convinced they'll pay what it takes to get Shields. A few teams will be in on him too. His price will exceed any valuation they place on him.
-
Lester must have gotten the whole family involved in this. That's why it's takin' so damn long.
-
Yes, but I think this is in Lester's hands only now.
-
I'm probably going to find about it by opening up the BDC forum and seeing 5-10 threads about it already going.
-
The Lester watch has turned into quite the eleventh-hour melodrama. It's reported the Red Sox had another meeting with his agents not long ago.
-
I'll drink to that idea but at this point I don't think Lester and Hamels is realistic.
-
It's only limited in the sense of what the best return we can get for him is.
-
And he has no problem lying with a straight face (Cespedes).
-
Didn't Farrell also say something about where Cespedes will be playing for us next year though? I will be shocked and enraged if they trade Betts. I don't think they'll do it, no way.
-
4/80 ain't happening. I expect he'll get at least 110 million.
-
Definitely not. But he's going to be crazy overpaid too. The losers on Lester will be immediately looking his way.
-
There are also a lot of rumors circling that the Yankees have emerged as one of the teams in on Lester.
