David Price Signs 7 year deal with Red Sox

[Pulk_Pull]

Not unlimited. They only went this high out of desperation to win now. Basically, they better pray for no injuries.. or they're going to be in trouble again. They still need more bullpen help..

 

Unlimited was hyperbole, but you get my point. $30 in the context of $200 mil is very different than $30 mil in the context of $140 mil.

"Even though our time together was limited, you took every opportunity to take me under your wing and teach me your ways. For that, I am forever thankful. Watching and critiquing my bullpens. Treating everyone with class and respect. Putting your teammates first. Showing up early, and staying late. Forming a bond with every single guy on the team. I could go on forever. Thank you @davidprice14. Thankful and lucky to have been your teammate and to call you a friend. You deserve every single penny. More than deserving. Going to miss you at the top step after every inning. With that being said, I can't wait to compete against you. Excited already thinking about it. Thank you for everything CHAMP. Look forward to beating you every chance I get for many years to come!" - Stro

They're only hope is another 2013 where everything goes right again. The Jays and Yanks are both still better than them. Who knows with the Rays, I swear they pull some Jim Hickey magic every year with the pitching and find solid hitters out of the bargain bin, so who knows. The O's are definitely the worst team now in the division.

 

I still have the Red Sox 3rd or 4th. Maybe 2nd if something stupid happens and a WC spot, but I think they fall short.

[TheHurl]

Price is not opting out at age 33, unless player salaries get even crazier by then.

 

Glad the Jays aren't paying that, but sucks to see him on the Red Sox.

 

Didn't we say the same thing about Greinke?

[BlueBirdBro]

Bautista had better not start bitching about this

[glory]

Didn't we say the same thing about Greinke?

 

Well, he's on a team run by Dombrowski, so chances are he could opt out and get more money from Dombrowski bidding against himself. That dude is AA on speed when it comes to player contracts.

[Spanky99]

Dude isnt even worth 150 over 7

 

huge overpay which is good f*** the sox

 

and f*** david price, overrated trash in the postseason

 

f*** him

 

lol

[Boxcar]

Boston is going to be really good.

 

Price

Buchholz

Ed Rod

Porcello

Miley

 

Kimbrel

Uehara

 

Swihart / Vazquez

Shaw / Hanley

Douche-Elf

Xander

Sandoval

JBJ

Betts

Castillo

 

Or whatever they're doing with their OF.

 

The lineup is pretty mediocre tbh but the rotation is definitely nice. I don't think the Sox are better than the Jays yet and everything they've done so far this off season has really hurt their long term outlook.

[Spanky99]

He tweets too damn much and it's never interesting.

 

We need to hear an Archer tweet.

[Jonzo]

Wow! Turns out David Price is essentially human garbage.

 

Stupid post. Wtf do you expect?

[King]

We need to hear an Archer tweet.

Thanks King, I just saw.

[Ziggyy108]

I am the most interested to see the contract and team for Jason Hayward.

[Jimcanuck]

Well, Boston better enjoy the huge luxury tax bills they will face.. well over $210M now in payroll after this and the Young deals.

 

And smart move by the Jays not to give Price this kind of money.. no pitcher is worth this.

 

Kershaw and maybe a few others are

[Dr Negative]

Shouldn't be a surprise. Price is only loyal to money, just hate to see him in the AL east

 

I'd be pretty loyal to $217 million as well.

@HabsFanInTO @RJJays1975 yes and if I was Ted "f*** Head" Rogers the 3rd would have at least offered 210M because I believe he's worth it.

Back to the 'make it look like we care...kinda" from Rogers. @MarkShapiro already adopted the 'don't give a f***, we're Rogers' approach.

Samardzija and Desmond for me.

[CJ-Freeway]

f*** my life, I wanted him out of the AL East too. Now the Sox will most likely be the favorites to win the division ;(

[Candide]

the Jays HAVE to react accordingly here, to show the fanbase and the RedSox that they mean business. I would throw $200 million at Greinke for 4 years I swear to God this has to happen man

It won't happen and doesn't have to

lol Rogers/Shapiro will probably sign bartolo colon at this point to answer back

[jaysfan2014]

Long term deal aside, are the Sox going to be good next season?

 

No guarantees at this point. They still have those awful Porcello, Sandoval and HanRam deals, losing Ortiz at the end of next season, still need Bradley and Castillo to start producing, and need more improvement from Bogaerts, Swihart and Betts. And of course, Pedroia needs to stay healthy and keep producing.. he is getting close to the back nine of his career, and Moncada is a ways away. And their farm in the high minors is barren, as most of the top prospects are in A ball..

I like your style

[Praxis]

This doesn't hurt; wouldn't pay this much for Price period. But watching Boyd and Norris pitch for Detroit? That's going to hurt.

Stro was crying when he typed that out, lol.

Worst case scenario.

[vdubmvp]

lol those tweets.

Just Norris. Boyd looks ticketed for Toledo.. and unless he curbs his HR issues, he won't be much of a regular.

[Pulk_Pull]

Jays are a couple injuries away from being bottom dwellers in the division, so don't rag on Boston for the same lack of depth if you're going to say the Jays and Yanks are easily better.

 

Three horse race in this division with lots of offseason left to go, IMO. Rays are always dangerous cause they are ninja like.
