Teoscar didn’t want Boston, or didn’t like the contract? Two entirely different things. Teoscar said he loved Boston, and it was one of his favorite teams, but didn’t like what they were offering. He made not only the right, and smart move money wise, but won a ring to boot. Teoscar chose &23.5M for one year compared to $28M for two, and now he will most likely end up making a lot more money for the two years, and beyond than the $28M he would have gotten for two years with the Sox. Smart move all the way around money wise, and playing wise, and that’s pretty easy to see.
