Signing(s): David Price to Red Sox (7 years/217 M)

[Sports Enthusiast]

RT @BillSimmons YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RT @PeteAbe: #RedSox in agreement with David Price. 7 years and $217 million. https://t.co/2ggjyutqXT

Not surprised a moron like Simmons would think this is a stellar deal.

Dumbrowski ain't ****ing around going after Kimbrel and Price

Yankees North

 

[SladeWilson23]

Hanley, Pedroia and Ortiz are 23? One is retiring after this year. One can't stay on the field and the other is a problem child in his prime who underachieves..

My guess is he's talking about Betts, Bogaerts, Swihart and Holt.

 

[Reality Check]

Cubs probably end up with Cueto now or settle for some secondary guys before exploring the trade market.

Price was never, ever returning to Toronto. But he will be now in a Boston jersey.

 

[Rocko604]

They missed in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015.

Sure they won the one time theyve made it recently , in 2013 but that was a perfect storm kind of season.

By that logic, Toronto shouldn't have made it this year, and shouldn't make it again for the rest of eternity.

Apparently Cardinals were second in the David Price sweepstakes.

wonder what their offer was

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Yes and no, they could obviously use him, and the next best position player is someone they don't even need (Davis).


Yes they have but that was when they ere the joke of the league. He and Epstein met a couple weeks ago, and I've heard he's always loved Chicago. Cubs didn't need him two years ago, and he didn't want to play for a losing team.

You think Chris Davis is the best postion player available? Stop it. Just stop it.

 

[SladeWilson23]

They just mentioned on Michael Kay that there's an opt out after 3 years.

Boo, David! Boo!

yep

 

[Dr Pepper]

Well, glad that's settled.

Going to be a fun night when he comes back to T.O.

 

[Alicat]

Porcello is bad

He's better than Buchholz

[Reality Check]

The Cardinals are always a bit frugal in the FA market. I find that hard to believe unless teams like the Cubs and Dodgers were focused on other options. And there are some.

St. Louis usually makes their move in the trade market

 

[Avs_19]

$90M for the first three years and then he can opt out. Might end up being a nice little three-year deal for the Red Sox. If he doesn't opt out? Well, good luck in the last couple years of that contract.

Hanley, Pedroia and Ortiz are 23? One is retiring after this year. One can't stay on the field and the other is a problem child in his prime who underachieves..

You consider those guys the key players on the team? I can't. There's no way you can think that.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Is it safe to say that the Blue Jays were PRICED out?

 

[darko]

yea but still, hes worth more a year then kershaw?

Kershaw signed his contract 2 years ago. Just imagine what Arrietta will get in 2 years time.

He's better than Buchholz

Buchholz had nearly the same FIP as Gerrit Cole this year.

The prevailing thought is that they were going to move a bit out of their comfort zone this offseason with some holes to fill available for such filling on the FA market and their new tv deal kicking in.

Its the typical RedSox solution, trade all your prospects and spend all your money in hopes of buying a ring. They tried that in 2011.

In 2013 they were smart, no huge money deals, just smaller ones to round out the team.

By that logic, Toronto shouldn't have made it this year, and shouldn't make it again for the rest of eternity.

Well they went 22 years before this year, so maybe

You think Chris Davis is the best postion player available? Stop it. Just stop it.

I said second behind Hayward.

Who is better? Defiantly not Cespedes, Desmond or Zobrist.

 

[darko]

Worked out for Sabathia and will now work out for Greinke. Smart by Price and his agent.
