Red Sox To Sign J.D. Martinez

[mvp 78]

Better than 7/200 that someone on here wanted last week.

Almost as if DD had a plan.

I bet Dave offered the 5/110 all along and once he front loaded it and added the opt outs, Boras bit

[mvp 78]

Front loaded with an opt out. I anticipate this will be the norm going forward. This is a 2 yr deal barring a massive decline. Smart with the window closing. This props it open.

People said this anout Price’s deal.

It is good stuff - bring on them Yanks now!!!

With the touted offseasons of the Yankees and Red Sox, could the AL East represent the American League in the World Series for only the second time in nine years?

The two opt outs are brilliant ...love this player fantastic addition ....the rivalry is now lit again !!! So excited for these two teams to clash again .Great for both fans and MLB

Another shoe or two to drop ???????

$50M/2 before the first opt-out.

I'm assuming $60M/3 for the remaining 3 years with another opt-out at some point over the last 3 years.

Not necessarily.

[Bellhorn04]

$50M/2 before the first opt-out.

I'm assuming $60M/3 for the remaining 3 years with another opt-out at some point over the last 3 years.

The second opt-out is after Year 3.

I agree with Bellhorn that the Sox are likely done with major transactions.

I doubt the Red Sox want to break up their current outfield.

[mvp 78]

You’re welcome everyone. I believe this happened today because I downloaded a bunch of Springsteen after lunch and we all know he’s every baseball reporter’s favorite musician.

[moonslav59]

Another shoe or two to drop ???????

To the Sox? Doubtful.

We'll be up against the major penalty line after Nunez & JD sign.

I'm assuming JD's AVV will be $22M.

Lol nope. Maybe Watson, but nothing more than that.

[moonslav59]

The second opt-out is after Year 3.

What's unknown is how the last 3 years' $60M is split year to year.

If it's $25M year 3 and just $35M/2 remaining, there's a higher chance for an opt-out.

Lol nope. Maybe Watson, but nothing more than that.

Tony Watson has signed with the San Francisco Giants:
