There are some weird comments there. Other teams are handing out deals in the hundreds of millions, and the Red Sox are the ones taking "huge risks" with Jansen and Turner? Not very logical.
The only reported offer to Bogey prior to reaching free agency was the $30 million bump. It's been reported extensively and never refuted, so I'm assuming it's accurate.
And 2013 had the classic example of Shane Victorino, who exceeded expectations greatly for one year and helped win a World Series, and then was useless the last two years of his contract.
Fans want it all.
We won the WS in 2018 and fans bitched all through 2019, blaming Cora for the pitchers not being ready for the season etc.
Fans never stay happy for long.
I think Bloom has a new narrative all set to go: If you're going to lock guys up, do it early or not at all.
So as notin suggested earlier, we may see extension offers to Bello and Casas.
This is very different from the Story signing.
Turner is 38, he DH'd a lot last year, and this contract only guarantees the Red Sox have him for one year.
