Red SOx sign Price, 7 years for 217 mil

[Bloody Brian Burke]

easily.

watch what cueto gets

Cueto won't get much more than Zimmerman.

with 2 big arms off the market, his price goes up at the meetings.

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

I like having Price. That contract is absurd, though. I wish they had just signed Lester for about $50M less last year.

He's basically limited to the NL given how rough a time he had it in the AL.

Assuming LAD or SF get Grienke, his pool of suitors is the loser and maybe 2 other teams tops. Nobody is going to go bid-crazy for him.

I'll peg it at $23m AAV.

Greinke will get the 2nd most after Price. I think I would have preferred Greinke to Price....

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Basically 1 million per start lol.

For a guy that's already 30 and can't win a playoff start.

At least he made out like a bandit.

Yeah, would make a lot more sense lol.

I think Grienke may get more.

I would not rule that out with the Dodgers in the mix!

 

[podsox]

price really hasn't been bad in the postseason. his record sucks but he has only had 2 bad playoff starts.

 

[Diamondeye]

Greinke's deal is just going to be stupid, for various reasons.

He's a great pitcher, but he's on the other end of his physical prime, and will not come close to equating what he did last season, from a performance perspective, again.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wow.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Did Toronto give up a lot for this rental?

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Red Sox had to do something after the season they had. Price is a great regular season pitcher and should give them a nice ace at the top of the rotation.

 

[Sportsdude101]

No one is worth that much money.. not even me.

 

[Diamondeye]

Their farm is way overrated, so probably not.

I still cannot believe they landed both Price and Tulo for what they gave up.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

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

He's not getting "Kershaw money." A sun unrestricted free agent Kershaw would get north of $40MM per year.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Price can opt out after 3 years. Not sure why he would though, that is a ton of $.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

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.

Agreed, Danny. If I were a Sox fan, I would be pleased with this.

We'll see.
