Maybe they did not counter with $320, because they did not want to pay him that much. They felt the $300M offer was good enough to please the fans. As related to the initial low-ball Lester offer, one of the biggest issues of contention was the lack of a counter offer until he reached free agency and it became clear Theo was not going to be outbid.
-
I saw every game, but I don't recall those either. I'm thinking Sanchez might get the 70 PAs Arauz got, and maybe Kike and Arroyo get Marwin's and Iggy's PAs.
-
Were they afraid he'd take a $320M counteroffer? We will likely never know.
-
I was talking about their final offer, once he became a FA.
-
He may get a little more than 50, but yes. PAs at 2B in 2021 201 Kike 169 Arroyo 119 Marwin 57 Chavis 51 Iggy 26 Arauz 16 Lopez 17 Motter, Munoz, Vaz & Devers 3B 646 Devers 23 Marwin 21 Dalbec 5 Arauz 2 Vaz SS (Maybe Kike or Arauz might be used as Bogey's back-up.) 577 Bogey 39 Arauz 37 Marwin 19 Kike 11 Iggy 2 Dalbec 1 Arroyo
-
Yup.
-
Like the final offer made to Lester, which I feel they hoped he'd never take.
-
The Sox may have gone slightly over $300M, but when the $420 came back, they knew the writing was on the wall.
-
"Pretend" was rather harsh. I do think it was a legit offer, even though they knew he would not accept, which is typical of first offers.
-
Who will be FAs, next winter? I think Judge is, but any other big names? DeGrom and Bogey have opt outs. How about 2024?
-
It was a pretend offer.
-
He has slipped on D. There are better options.
-
Makes me think, if we couldn't or wouldn't offer Betts $300M, who is a better profile?
-
Plus, he doesn't play SS like Iggy can.
-
So... No Iggy?
-
I liked Baez, but he was not a $25M+ guy. He did get $140M/6, so it was close. I'd say the next guy we sign large and long is Devers.
-
If only Beni was as good as Gordon!
-
Sounds about right. Even if the players made exactly $20M each, I doubt we'd have 4 or more making that much. Three seems like the limit. Maybe just two, if $25M+.

What about 10 dollar bills, 20 dollar bills, 50 dollar bills and 100's? I never equated a $5 bill as being anything special. (Ok, maybe when I was like 10.)
-
He is just 27, so if any player should be considered for a 0+ year deal, he might be "the one," but for reasons we have already given, he should not be "that guy" the Sox choose to go all in on. This would be a nice IF for 2022: 1B Devers 2B Kike SS Correa 3B Bogey
-
I'm not saying I want Bogey as our SS going forward. I'm just saying I would not choose Carlos as "the one" splurge guy we sign. His age is a huge plus, but his offense is up and down, and his health is often an issue. If he can't stay healthy at 22-26, what will he be like at 30-36?
-
I didn't hate Beni. I just was not thrilled by his play.
