It sure seems that way. -
So does Hamilton. Speaking of K's, Downs has 15 in 27 ABs. Cordero 12 in 34 ABs.

Here's a closer look at Sox big spending (Free Agents, IFAs & Extensions) since 2007: (Help me fill in any missing big deals.) 2007: $70M/5 JD Drew $52M/4 Papi $52M/6 Dice-K (plus mega posting fee) $36M/4 Lugo $30M/3 Beckett 2008: $38M/3 Lowell 2009: $41M/4 Youk $41M/6 Pedey $30M/5 Lester 2010: $83M/5 Lackey 2011: $142M/7 Crawford $68M/4 Beckett 2012: $154M/7 AGon $30M/4 Buchholz 2013: $39M/3 Vic $27M/2 Dempster $26M/2 Ortiz 2014: $110m/8 Pedey $73M/7 Rusney $32M/2 Napoli 2015: $95M/5 Pablito $88M/4 HRam $32M bonus Moncada (plus mega posting fee) $18M/2 Uehara 2016: $217/7 Price $83M/4 Porcello $16M/1 Ortiz 2017: 2018: $110M/5 JD M 2019: $68M/4 Eovaldi $20M/1 Betts (arb) $12M/1 Bogey (arb) 2020: $145M/5 Sale $120M/6 Bogey 2021: $14M/2 Kike $10M/1 Richards 2022: $140M/6 Story $19M/2 Barnes $10M/1 Paxton

If you adjust for inflation, 2 of the larges and longest 5 (or 6) deals under Henry were for starting pitchers: $217/7 Price $142/7 Crawford $110/5 JD M $95.0/5 Pablito $88.0/4 HRam (Is 4 years long term?) $82.5/5 Lackey (Does 5 years of inflation catch HRam?) 3 of top 8 (add JD Drew and Eovaldi)
-
This is what the Sox are known for doing. (Not always "young," but they trade for their aces and #2's a lot.
-
So, you'd rather pay $240M/8 than $290/14?
-
Hamilton and Binelas are both off to great starts in very limited sample sizes.
-
Portland pulled out a win 4-3 by scoring 2 in the 9th. 15 Ks and 0 BBs by Seadogs pitchers. Murphy 5 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K German closed: 2 IP, 1H, 0 BB, 4 K Greenville won 9-6 Rafaela, McDonough, Binelas and Flores had 2 hits. Esplin had 3. Salem won 5-0. Gonzalez 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 9K
-
Would you give him $290M/14?
-
There is nothing to gain by BorA$$ (and Bogey) to lie about this.
-
Well, lying about a low-ball offer is not going to want the Sox to want to sign Bogey, so they'd lose a big bidder with nothing gained.
-
It was still a pretty lame offer- like Lester's. It's not a good start and sends a clear signal, IMO.
-
I think the defense might hurt his chances of approaching Seager money, too. Also, Correa will likely be on the market, again, too. T Turner, too.
-
According to cots, these are our biggest FA pitcher signings: $217/7 Price '16 $82.5/5 Lackey '10 $68.0/4 Eovaldi '19 $26.5/2 Dempster '13 (retired after 2013) $25.5/4 Foulke '04 $25.5/3 Clement '05 $18.0/2 Uehara '15 $13.9/3 Viola '92 Not much of a history. We are more known for big extensions: Pedro, Lester, Beckett, Porcello, Sale... and the Dice-K addition. We are most known for trading for aces or good pitching: Pedro Schilling Beckett Porcello Sale
-
True. I keep thinking we extended Eovaldi, but we did not. He became a FA, first. You did say "free agent," but I missed that.
-
Wicky and Winky
-
Maybe Lackey or the Beckett extension?
-
I think Hicks will be fine, if healthy all year. Last year, Higgy had over half the PAs as Sanchez as a catcher (209 to 409), so you had some weakness at the bottom, last year, too. The SS drop off on offense will be plentiful, but the gains on defense he brings at SS, plus the gains you make at 2B and 1B, because of him should be worth it.
-
The Story signing might hint the Sox agree. (Interesting that they gave Story $140M/6 and offered Bogey only $90M/4. Maybe they do value defense more than some do.)
-
Face it: it's the Yankee way. Cashman digs the long ball.
-
Here's a short list of some big and semi-big names: Syndergaard (30) deGrom (35) Eovaldi(33) Kershaw (35) Manaea (31- I mentioned him because he's younger) At these ages, maybe Syndergaard is the only guy worth both "large" and "long." Some are worth large. Manaea might be worth long.
-
Not being on the 40 man roster hurts. He'll have to really shine for 4-6 more starts to be considered, IMO.
-
It's hard to project who Bloom might choose as his first large and long pitcher signing.
-
Agreed. I'm not sure they'd jump Bello or Groome from AA ahead of Winckowksi, Seabold, DHern or Pannone (not on 40.)- all of whom are also doing well.
-
...and many teams are seeing their pitching shine.
