That Ramirez deal was a clear team-friendly deal. Maybe Devers loves Boston that much, but most players seek the most money. IMO, offering $160M/6 would not be accepted. The guy is only 25 and will be all season. If the 6 years is an extension, we'd have him for 8 years, but if it's a replacement deal, 6 years brings him to age 30. I'm not sure why he'd look at age 30 as a better way to make more money. My guess is, he'd want a very long deal with an opt out or two. Now, the money. If the $160/6 replaces 2 arb years, its close to being enough, as he might make $30M in his last 2 arbs, combined. That leaves $130M/4 for the rest. If you are talking extension after the arb years, then he'd laugh at $160M/6 in a FA year going into an age 27 season. IMO, if he's feeling "team friendly," he might think this is the minimum he'd take: $250M/8, and even that might include a mildly front- ended contract with an opt out.

We are now projected 24th in RF team fWAR rankings.

Which is likely $27M+ a year.

They don't always end up with 50-50 on each game. They move the lines and odds to try and even it up. They can't lose, if it ends up exactly even, but it rarely ends up exactly even, and my point is they likely win more of the uneven games than not, since too many bettors bet with their hearts not their minds. Also, moving the line allows for a chance they lose both bets. Say the line opens at 3 1/2 and moves to 4 1/2. They could lose, if the game ends up at 4, if more people took the fave at 3.5 and the underdog at 4.5.

His age and projections. Yes, I'd pay him more than JD, even with inflation. Papi is another story and never was near the highest paid 1B/DH in MLB.
-
Part of the reason they win more than the expected 50% of the games, is precisely because fans play the favorites and home teams more than they should. They know that and set the odds accordingly.
-
Careful, someone might say you and harmony are the same poster.
-
Then pay him like the highest paid 1B/DH of all time.
-
Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

This kid is worth the hefty and long investment. DEVERS FOREVERS!

4/8 at Yanks - Opening Day

Yes, as injury prone as he is, he's not on opening day. -
He might take $27M x whatever, but he'd get more, if he was a FA, right now.
-
The Yanks are always hyped. I like it that way. We do better as the underdog.

Quite a list to be joining! -
How many pitchers are in your "top tier?" 5, 10, ???
-
I remember a few years back they signed like 3-4 pretty good RP'ers, and I think they all failed. They probably gave up.
-
WOW! #19. They must believe in Cora magic.

Sounds about right. Many teams have more questions and concerns than we do.
-
I wanted to hear harmony's spin.
-
LOL Why does BTV have Souza worth 0?
-
BTV allowed the M's to clear their OF with this trade: Dalbec & Lugo for Haniger & Sewald
-
He'll grab the best off the scrap heap or take on some salary for something better, maybe.
-
Yes, he can, but he likely won't.
-
Could be just the type Bloom swoops on.
