Padres Were Going to Offer Judge $400M- Maybe 14 Years!
moonslav59 replied to moonslav59's topic in Other Baseball
Can you imagine the outrage had the deal been nixed? -
Yes, I think Pedey's was the most, unless Bogey did not opt out. This is what I came up with over the last 10-12 years, only: Unofficial... $120/6 Bogey (opt out after $60M/3) $110/8 Pedey $41M/4 Youk $41M/6 Pedey ('09-'14) $30M/4 Buchholz $30M/5 Lester Non Homegrown extensions... $154/7 AGon $145/5 Sale $83M/4 Porcello $68M/4 Beckett $68M/4 Nate $52M/4 Papi

I recall people suggesting he retire- not insisting. The league should have forced him to retire and have Machado pay his remaining salary.
-
The league was prepared to veto it... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/latest-on-padres-pursuit-of-aaron-judge.html

Most were older than the ones we lost, but Lester was not, and he did better than any of these guys. Betts almost certainly will. Bogey is TBD and Devers hasn't flown the coup, just yet. Who are the top 4 homegrown players over the last 2 decades by size of their contract extensions?
-
Interesting that the highest paid Sox players of the last decade don't make the top 4 list. $217M Price $154M AGon $145M Sale $142M Crawford (started right before the last decade) $140M Story $110M JD None were/are homegrown, and only Sale was a real extension. (Technically, AGon was, too.)
-
I would. Maybe try to get him to take $350/14.

Guess what OF'er has the 18th best OPS vs LHPs with 150+ PAs since 2020? .861 Rob Refsnyder 15. Haniger .885 20. Mookie .862 24. Suzuki .847 25. Acuna Jr. .847 26. Springer .843 30. J Soto .835 32. Soler .828 (salary dump) 36. Av Garcia .821 (salary dump)

We took the time to learn the names Tanaka and Matsui. His name is Masataka Yoshida. You will come to remember his name. Our LF is better. Our CF is better. Or RF is better. Our DH could easily be about the same. Our 1B is way better. Our pen, which you failed to mention, is better even when subtracting Whitlock and Strahm. Our 2B should be better with improved health. 3B should be about the same. We have $40M left to try and make up for the loss of Bogey and Nate. You have your view. I have mine. Neither of us sees the full 2023 team.
-
I like Brantley as a DH and back up LF'er, but we need a big RH'd bat.
-
It seemed many were happy the day before Bogey departed, and really, at that time, how many felt we were going to sign him after paying Yoshida?
-
I think our chances at landing Swanson are less than 1%- Correa less than .05%. Anrus or Segura maybe 30-33%?
-
Heaney signs with Rangers: $12M w $5M in incentives and option for $13M in '24 w $500K buyout. Another player that the Sox showed "interest" in is gone. This one, I'm fine with him going elsewhere.
-
I totally understand. I like the bigger percent of years falling in primes. Swanson won't be getting 11 years nor $25M+ AAV. It's close, to me, but we'll see what Swanson gets. My guess is we go Andrus or sign Segura to play 2B and move Story to SS for one year.
-
The bigger question is, should they dole out $360M/12?
-
Lots of assumptions. It's pretty much a given, though, that Boras felt he "could get no more money than this." I agree on that.
-
No, 9th best at SS is not great, but he's also not making Seager, Turner, Bogey and soon-to-be Correa money, either.
-
If you go $390/13, just make it an even $400M/14.
-
He did get Kimbrel and some that did not work out well, namely Carson Smith and Tyler Thornburg.
-
Yes, you were correct. A lot has changed since last year, but $90M x 4 was a low ball then, and looks horrific, now. Even $160/6 is being lambasted.
-
Good point. I stand corrected, actually I'm sitting.
-
$350/10 or $375/12
-
Swanson was number one on defense according to fangraphs, last year. #8 in 2021 #7 in 2020 #2 from 2020-2022. Do you now pooh-pooh defensive metrics? He's 9th on offense at SS- just behind Lindor from '20-'22. He's durable- leading MLB in games played in 2021 and 2022.
-
If JH did not allow Bloom to extend Bogey, how is that "excuse" making? How is it Bloom's fault Bogey is gone? Yes, he wants Bloom to get us out of last place, and he better do it, this winter. If he is given the $40M remining under the tax line, it's my expectation, too.

Since they usually under project totals, they did pretty good on the Sox.
