    But I also speculate that doesn't change anyones stance.
  2. Hugh2
    I probably should have clarified that I'm talking about payroll for tax purposes.
  3. Hugh2
    So hypothetically good. I'm sure there's potential for fans to look back in hindsight and not be too upset a guy opts out, but on the players side they're 100% player friendly. Unless he goes the Bryce Harper route, a Soto contract is almost certain to have an opt out in it, at least one if not multiple in the year 4-6 range.

    People are sticking to their guns, I can respect that. I too am sticking to my over prediction.
  5. Hugh2
    They’re already up to 175
  6. Hugh2
    Anyone wanna change their position?
  7. Hugh2
    All this time I've been thinking about Fried/Burnes and I never thought that perhaps Snell is the one who can make me love again. I would love it if it could be on nothing more than a 5 year deal.
  8. Hugh2
    It's going to be different this time, just like I said last offseason.
  9. Hugh2
    Stork was calling for an 8 year deal. I don't think he takes a shorter term deal, but you're 100% right if he does it's going to have to have opt outs and a higher AAV. And for Soto, I think a shorter deal is in the 10-12 range. No way it's 8 years.
  10. Hugh2
    Ok, I'm not surprised there's one, there's allowed to be more than 1 and still call it very rare. This isn't highlander. The only point I've been trying to hammer out here is how rare a free agent like Juan Soto is. It would be crazy to not make an honest run at him in my opinion
  11. Hugh2
    The only way Soto is signing a contract with less years is if the AAV is much higher and there's an opt out after year 4. Maybe the total contract is less, but you got to have that thing front loaded paying him 60-70 a year where he opts out at 30. I just don't see that happening. If that is what is suppose to entice a guy to take 500 million instead of 650 million he's just going to take the later.
  12. Hugh2
    LOL, I think all these people offering 8-12 years are hilarious. If the Sox do manage to pull off a Soto signing it will give them something to whine about. Because there's no way he's not signing a mammoth of a contract.
  13. Hugh2
    maybe if he had those two extra weeks.....what?
  14. Hugh2
    It’s like….ya’ll are cheering for Sox failure and another 86 years of darkness
  15. Hugh2
    Yeah, so theres one. Still it's rare. Harper did have a 28.7 Fwar at that time, that's pretty darn close to what Soto did.
  16. Hugh2
    Al Bundy still talks about his 4 touchdowns in one game
  17. Hugh2
    I mean ok, but it’s going to be really annoying really quick if that’s everyone’s go to for everything. Lou Merlin said it best on the section 10 podcast. Move on, f***ing up the Mookie Betts contract doesn’t mean the Sox can’t sign anyone good again. omelet if anyone has listened to it you should. It made me feel a lot better. I’m ready to move on again.
  18. Hugh2
    When you read that last line you should think of Yoda
  19. Hugh2
    The year is 2078, the Sox have just finished celebrating their 3rd intergalactic series win in a row. A an old fan was heard on his death bed “mooooooook ie….beh……tsssss”
  20. Hugh2
    How old was Bryce Harper????
  21. Hugh2
    At the time of their free agency Soto just turned 26 Seager 28.5 almost 2.5 years older Soto to Seager FWar at the time of FA Seager 21.8 Soto 36.3 this isn’t a power ranking but the point is Seager is not Juan Soto. Even if Seager plays better than Soto for the next ten years,, he will never have been the once in a generational talent to hit free agency in his mid 20’s that Soto is.
  22. Hugh2
    I did, further back I was the one who said Soto was a once in a generation free agent opportunity, in which MVP responded with a list of guys who were good and also become free agents the past several years. In which I responded that they were all older than Soto and less productive. Even when Seager hit free agency he had almost 1/2 the way Soto does. what Seager did 2 years after he signed an extension at 30 years old has zero bearing on the argument of who they were at the time of their free agency, which was the point. That point being the elite free agents in their mid 20’s very very seldom hit free agency.
  23. Hugh2
    Ok but aren’t we comparing free agents? Soto is more than two years younger than Seager was when he signed a contract and at that point in time when they hit free agency Soto almost doubles Corey’s WAR. the argument was free agents like Soto do not come along often. The fact Corey Seager had a good year last year is 100% irrelevant
  24. Hugh2
    Yeah, I mostly say this in jest, like…it’s funny to me. But honestly, I’m not 100% convinced either. People who are fired/let go if they have honor, or professionalism just won’t discuss certain things. Not saying I do believe it, but I guess what I’m really trying to say is I don’t care. it’s been 5 years, I’m moving on with my life. I’m ready to love again.
  25. Hugh2
    I really don’t care. From these day forth I shall never talk of Mookie Betts being traded again. It’s been rehashed a billion times and obviously gets people going. i get it, he’s good and the Sox f***ed up. The hat was 5 years ago and it doesn’t mean they can’t go out and sign other good guys.
