Dunno how serious the Giants are, they may just be trying to drive up the price for LA.

Twins are going to be a whole lotta fun to watch next year.
I think the Sox would take 4 elite years and a world series out of Price even if the last 3 years of the contract are an albatross.

I heard he was looking for $110M but either way they could've had Lester and over $100M to spend elsewhere.

Depends on how much inflation of $/WAR keeps rising, as well as how much WAR Price loses every year from age 34 onward. It could be $10 mil per WAR following his age 33 season, and it's not unreasonable to think he could exceed a 3 WAR average from 34 to 38.
Sure, but the fact it could be a fair deal doesn't mean it's a good allocation of resources, right? I'd rather pay someone else at that point.
I'm sure teams well be lining up for Porcello.

Cards supposedly finished 2nd in the Price sweepstakes. Be interesting to find out how much they offered and how much more the Sox bid. Interesting that the Cubs and BJs were out on him.

At least the Jays gave nearly $40 million to J.A. Happ!

Now it's Greinke's time to come back.
Kelly, Miley and Buchholz are very cheap.
Miley is owed something 3/17M, for close to 200 IP he's a keeper at the back end. Kelly is Dombrowski type of guy, power arm, but other teams would be interest too if he can be a reliever.

Red Sox might be good next year. Then again they might finish last. Price sure got paid.

A starting pitcher in, let's say, the top 30 performers at his position on average during those years, for market rate (not even including inflation going forward), on a relatively short 4 year deal? I think practically every major league club not constrained by a low payroll would take that deal. It would be more than fair, and would be a very smart allocation of resources.
If Price opts out, and I bet he will (barring injury of course), I think he might get a 5 year deal at $35+ mil AAV.

Who the fuck gives Price more than what Kershaw makes? The Red Sox.
Kinda understand why Rogers didn't wanna pay that kind of money. Not worth it.
Honestly cannot wait for him to pitch in Toronto. The crowd will be on him harder than they were with Burnett or Farrell.

If he + Trout don't decline, is there any way they get something below $300/$350 million?
lol. I can't blame the guy. I mean, the Blue Jays didn't even bother offering a contract.
That would be really petty.

he should have taken less money than what was offered, because that's what professionals. Don't you turn down raises at your job all the time?
The Toronto crowd boos every former Jay, so yeah it's definitely going to happen. lol
They're idiots what can ya do

This is Toronto were talking about. It's gonna be loud in the dome.

Jeez. I hope he's okay.
Stanton got 13/325 and Miggy got 8/292, those were both extensions. Trout and Harper are going to destroy those contracts.

Can't blame Price, obviously.
Shapiro and any of the Rogers top staff should probably stay out of the spotlight as they are going to get booed the fuck out of the dome.
Whether you believed we could sign him or not it's disappointing to see him go to an in division competitor. Even more disappointing that team has to be the Red Sox who just a few seasons ago fleeced us for our management staff and won a World Series. It's embarrassing. We're in a first class market and look like a god damn feeder team for the Red Sox.
Anthopolous knew Rogers was going to keep the purse strings tight and decided enough was enough. Don't blame him either.

At some point teams should start offering the Trouts and Harpers ownership stakes.
Not gonna lie. Considering how poorly the next few free agent classes look and how much money the Yankees have coming off the books over the next two years. They should be splurging this offseason. If the two jackass brothers keep telling us they only
Plan to reinvest money back into the team when it comes off the books, where is that money going to next year and the following?

Strasburg and save their pennies for Harper in '18.
I agree with you. They should be going hard after Heyward.
I fully expect Harper to get 400+. He's going to hit free agency at 25/26...good lord
Who is the obvious choice to sign?

How the fuck did I forget Stanton's $325? Yeah, Harper and Trout are getting $400.
