[Cyder]

Big money for a guy that can't win a playoff game. What do you think?

 

[Rock Strongo]

Good points. Plus he doesn't tend to get hurt so you shold get 200 innings on a regular basis

SO?

yup

200 innings, 15-20 wins, then pray in the playoffs.

he may help get the sox there...but the rest is all prayer.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Eh, this seems like overkill even after inflation. He's no Kershaw.

 

[Rock Strongo]

it would have cost the team much more had they waited til the winter meetings. that ups the price every year on FA's.

 

[Rock Strongo]

@jonheymancbs: Price is a proven al east winner. There will be dissenters tho. One competing gm just said, "they're outta their... minds."

Barry Zito just filed suit against him for stealing his schtick...

This has a CC Sabathia feel to it. Good to Great for 3 years, mediocre to bad for the last 4. If Boston thinks he's the answer, good for them, but it is buyer beware giving any pitcher that much money after he turns 30.

 

[Diamondeye]

The Red Sox have money to spare. It isn't like this was a deal made by a team with lesser financial flexibility.

The signing instantly makes their staff significantly better.

The biggest contract ever for a pitcher would have somehow gotten bigger after a week? I don't buy it.

easily.

watch what cueto gets

 

[Diamondeye]

Cueto isn't going to get as much as people think. That bed sh1tting he did in August/September hurt his value, for no other reason than casting doubts on his ability to handle the pressure of being a savior to a new team.

David Price will earn $90 million the 1st three years of his contract_$30 million a year_when he then has an opt-out in his contrac

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

It is what it is. Sox just got one of the 5 best pitchers in the game. The money don't really matter to them so, well done.

i think you should find a gif of a toilet flushing money down it and post it.
