Red SOx sign Price, 7 years for 217 mil

[SlinkyRedfoot]

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

What makes you confident that Greinke won't get a bigger deal than Price?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Their farm is way overrated, so probably not.

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

Fuck Tulo. Guy averages about 85 games played a year. There are at least a half dozen shortstops I'd take over him.

Not confident about that. I just thought Price would get the most. However, see my post about the Dodgers being involved on Greinke.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

We'll see.

Yeah, I'm sure people were saying the same thing about Grienke a few years ago.

The money train just keeps chugging.

Gotcha.

By and large, he wasn't very good with the Jays. But I'm still happier with him than I was with Wifey ElBeaty.

Like the signing of Price... Just not for that length and money... The Red Sox outbid themselves once again imo

world series or bust

Based on what, exactly?

world series or bust

Do they have 2 Cy Young candidates ready to break?

They just signed one of the best pitchers in the majors and if their rotation is anything like last season's they still might have the worst one in the division.

I'd pay Greinke more than Price, I doubt the Dodgers would pay him more than they did Kershaw if he goes back there though.

Glad the Giants didn't overpay

They're bidding with the Dodgers for Grienke. They're either (geniusly) getting the Dodgers to overpay a fuck ton for him, or they're actively competing with Moneyland for a player.

not as of yet.. But I was stating if they don't get one this signing will be a bust that's all. but the Red Sox are still talking about trading for another starter and if this signing proves anything... Dombroski aint fing around

I really hope this doesn't mean that the Cubs are going to throw money at Jason Heyward now

Totally okay with either scenario. He might be too weird for even SF, but he might fit. If not, making the Dodgers overpay is fine by me. They'll just have to get extra ink cartridges for their printers. Assholes. And also, fuck the Dodgers.

I don't see anyway that he doesn't get paid more than Price either.

One thing has nothing to do with the other. Kershaw signed an extension. Greinke is an unrestricted free agent. Major difference. Their contracts shouldn't be compared and wouldn't be on a professional level.

In fact, Kershaw would probably love it if Greinke got a larger deal because he's got a opt out in a few years himself.

No, no he is not.

 

[redseat]

No, no he is not.

which makes me wonder if Cherington really had any "control/say" last year and in years past
