Sox Fans acting like the Cubs gave THAT much more than them. An extra 2.5 mil a year is really nothing.
Yeah it is and its 3.3
@JonHeymanCBS: if cubs exercise 7th year option, contract would be worth $170M years. #lester
I don't see why.

It's really not that huge of a difference when the minimum salary is 500k.
People like Lester more than them.

Possibly Hamels too.

I see Masterson as more likely.

That's alright, we'll have Hunter Strickland as our 4th starter and a closer.It doesn't make sense.

Who wouldn't want to win WS rings in 2015-2020?

Now that Jon Lester is not going to the Giants, it's believed the Giants will now shift their attention to acquiring Justin Upton and Chris Johnson from the Braves.
Red Sox won't go after Scherzer.
They might go after Shields but man he doesn't come off as someone that would like pitching in Boston. He's also probably going to get 5/100-110 at age 34 in this market.
Detroit won't move Price if they can't resign Scherzer.
Red Sox will probably go the trade route for 1 pitcher and then sign a lower tier pitcher.
I really hope I'm wrong, haha.
I'm torn about this. Yes, I'd like to dump CJ. I'd also like to get the best prospect return possible though.
Shields Maddon connection is huge.
I think Shields is the most likely, and then go banana after Price next offseason

I'm excited for the Sox to give up way too much for Cole Hamels now.

200+. Whoever needs pitching better call the Mets. We have a few guys available.
3rd place in the NL Central will probably be good enough for the 2nd Wildcard spot

Welp. This is a good offseason so far.

Astros close to Pat Neshek as well.

Mariners reportedly interested in Dayan Viciedo.
I think it would be a good move for them and he is worth a top 5 prospect. Plus defender, great plate discipline and works hard to stay in shape. Perfect fit.
edit: Sox talking to Tampa Bay about Longoria and Wil Myers. Unless Hawk Harrelson became their GM, I don't think a trade is feasible.

If Hahn suckers them to give up even a can of dip he is the best GM in baseball

Rosenthal says that Lester was probably the best pitcher to give a 6 year deal to because of his delivery and conditioning.

Another guy for Matheny to play instead of Wong.

Giants and Tigers are talking to Romo.

Eh, people said this about Prior as well. The thing with deliveries and the infamous inverted-W stuff is: Nobody knows anything and throws shit against the wall.
Giving long term deals to pitchers is always risky.

Well it's something you have to do to get a good pitcher nowadays. You aren't going to see a lot of aces get 3 year deals.
As a phillies fan, me too.
