I ask you the question I did before. What’s the comp out there for someone his age, and lack of much of a resume to get a contract that you, an others are suggesting? I’m not for overpaying someone just because we gave up some high ranked suspects. Only time will tell on what was the right way to do this, and what Brez will end up doing.
-
Low bar.
-
Sounds good, but how much are you going to pay this guy?
-
Not even close. I’m talking about a comp that someone got that is close to what some on here are talking about that Cro Man should get.
-
Two things for me. One is the way the injury juju has affected the Red Sox the past few years. Sale leaves, and he’s injury free pretty much all season. Two is that Cro Man is so untested with only this past season pitching over 100 innings. I know the stuff is there, but I would want to see more of a track record before I dished out a big long term contract. Pitching in Chicago is a lot different than in Boston too. Yes we gave up some suspects, but like I’ve always said suspects aren’t worth anything until they produce in a Red Sox uniform, or are traded for someone who does. However it works out I don’t see any long term contract without an opt-out attached.
-
I’m sure Brez, and his minions have been working day, and night on this. I agree on A.
-
That would be the smart thing to do , but then again the price could go either way too.
-
Any comps out there for someone for his age, his little accomplishments at this point in his career? He’s not Sale at his age, or even Skubal at this point.
-
$130M for three extra years? $40M+? 🙈🤭
-
Wow! Very generous offer if you’re counting 2025, and 2026, which if his arb years played out with his $3.5M this year, and next year maybe $10M-$15M with a CY Young type season that leaves $100M, or so for his last two years, so I’ll say it again. WOW!
-
I don’t see the Cro Man getting anything close to a Cole deal. Cole was a lot more established when he signed that contract compared to Cro Man who has only pitched over 100 innings once.
-
They are always trying to save money, but .5M is still playing hardball, which Duran would probably win anyways in arbitration.
-
The word out there is Duran asking for $4M, and the Red Sox offering $3.5M. Sounds like hardball to me.
-
The Red Sox have burned out the BP the last few years, and need as many BP pitchers as they can get. Having 1 less I don’t see as working out to anything good. Especially with there being so many question marks as there are with the BP now.
-
He’d better after giving up the suspects he gave up.
-
I’m not even counting on Cro Man being with the Red Sox past 2026 at this point until I see a contract past 2026 gets done.
-
Maybe because that’s a real possibility unless the Red Sox blow Cro Man away with a contract offer. Faith in the Red Sox doing that I do not have.
-
I agree on the 6 man rotation. I know there has been talk about it, but first of all you have to have 6 good healthy arms to do it, and the Red Sox have has a hard time having 5 the past few years. I’m not counting on Gio to even start the season on the active roster. Last seen on the mound he was a HR Derby pitcher, so who knows what you’ll get out of him anyways.
-
As I’ve said he’s not a proven commodity, but if he has a good year this year that will change to some degree. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. With the Red Sox Anything’s Possible, and usually not on the good side. It’s a risk for both sides at this point.
-
I started all this 3 year of control thing, because I just have a hard time believing the Red Sox will make it worth it to Crochet to sign anything long term without a short time opt-out. I hope I’m wrong.
-
Crochet is far from a proven commodity at this point for anything close to a $200M contract.
-
Called it.
-
Called it.
-
Great game with lots of ebbs, and flows. Great win for ND.
-
No deal yet for Duran.
