Personally, if teams aren't imaging shoulders and elbows NOW to see if a guy is about to blow it out in 2030 I'm flabbergasted, flabbergasted I tells yea.
-
I think Rafeal would be eyeing a spot on the big league roster. Not too sure many athletes are gunning for a spot on the minor league team.
-
If it starts after this season it buys out one.
-
Talks break down all the time, I just view contract extensions a little differently. There's no team out there bidding against us, and it's not like he has years of success under his belt and more of an incentive to pitch good for 1-2 more years to bet on himself. This is the time to get it done. If I was a guessing man, I'd guess the framework of an extension is predominately agreed upon between the two sides but they are hammering out the years. 5 years and then what? an option year or two? I'd really like to see some option years at the end of an extension that only buys out ONE of his FA years.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

How ironic would it be if Giolito came back in 2025 pitched well and the Sox retained him in 26' and he pitched better? I would rather of had one good year and a draft pick. Even more so, I'd rather have almost a completely different rotation. -
There’s a difference between reporting rumors on free agents. Said interest can be real but every other team out there can be in on a player too, agents can also leak interest or exaggerate interest to raise a players cost. This is a Red Sox player under team control for the next ten years. There’s no reason to exaggerate these claims. Also Alex Speier is one of the good guys, probably one of the most trustworthy Sox reporters I’ve read. If he’s reporting it, I trust it’s true. I think you can pretty much take it to the bank that they’re extending Bello at this point
-
Apparently it’s 5 year deal and it’s done, conflicting reports about being announced this weekend or within the next few hours. Assuming it starts after this season they gain ONE year of control? They really don’t wanna sign any pitchers into their 30’s so they? I hope there’s a few option years attached.

If this is true, it would have shown up on a physical. If he was already hurt, sure it may be true. He was also hit with a divorce and had his wife leave him, which lines up almost exactly with the time he went from good to falling off a cliff. Baseball is a physical and a mental game and both those factors can affect a mans performance......But there's at least some evidence of one being true because we know for a fact he was hit with some real life s***. The later is pure speculation. I would have been ok signing him if he was injured, if it was in the mold of a Hendricks/Paxton deal, but it wasn't a rehab contract, it was a pillow contract designed for him to play well in 2024 and opt out. If the Sox knew he was injured, shame on them.
-
While it's certainly true injuries can be predictable, as they can be chronic issues that fester up over time, often they're acute injuries in which a physical is going to show nothing wrong. This is part of the sport, and it's almost expected nowadays that every pitcher is going to need some kind of surgery at some point in their career. It just really sucks when it happen to a guy you just signed. I think the question now is. Does Giolitos injury make (or should it make) the Sox more desperate to sign someone like Montgomery? or does it make them more likely to save their bullets for another day and say "f*** it" lets roll with what we have and see what we have with these kids, and then we might know who we want to build around for 2025 and beyond????? I say you split the difference, you have an idea of what you think Jordan is worth, and clearly no other team has beat you to it, so you stand your ground. He can help in 2024 and beyond, but it's not worth overpaying at this point for anyone.
-
I'm not sure what his theory was?
-
Sox had a winning record against teams above .500 last year (despite being bullied by the Rays). It was the bad teams they couldn't beat. Maybe we don't want an easy schedule early.
-
Is this also a dropped ball for the other 28 teams who didn’t sign him as well?
-
There's more of a chance of a starting pitcher being signed at this point than Matt Chapman.......and that's saying a lot.
-
How ironic is it going to be if Chris Sale pitched like a top ten pitcher 3 years in a row for Atlanta????
-
Maybe this is why the Red Sox refuse to give him $150 million dollars.
-
At this point you think he would have taken the biggest deal out there.....two weeks ago. Maybe Boras thinks a team who sustains an injury blinks in spring training, kind of weird to be taking that approach with two guys simultaneously. Boras is really good at what he does, but this feels like a rarity and he's completely f***ed things up for Snell and Montgomery. Sox might actually be doing something really smart here by waiting to pounce on him (if one could actually believe they would sign anyone at this point).
-
It's also a report about a meeting that took place two weeks ago, kind of sounds like Boras spin. I could just as easily see Philly or Texas swooping in and signing him at the last minute.
-
Montgomery Giolito Bello Crawford Pivetta/Houck/Whitlock/Winc
-
I don't feel like pulling up the list this early, but from my recollection it was a much more impressive list next year than this year in terms of pitching. You would think, that would decrease the value of Montgomery and Snell being able to sign a one year deal pillow contract.
-
Haven't I been saying all along that the Sox were going to sign Montgomery this offseason?????
-
I agree he’s not getting nowhere near the money Boras wanted him too and an another MVP season his highly unlikely. He just needs to be good enough to have someone offer him more than $50. I’ll put the odds at 50/50
-
Oh without a doubt he was a little lucky, but he was also definitively better than he was the previous years. He will still be 29 next year, he just has to have a decent year to have someone throw more than $50 million at him.
-
I don’t think his .648 over those three seasons is going to stop someone from giving him more than $50 if he has a decent year next year.
