Red Sox close to deal with Kevin Pillar

[Slasher9]

Now do that with Mookie.

i never said Mookie was overpaid tho? ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

Does any of that matter to armchair budgetmeisters?

I can't believe you'd say that about yourself.

the budgie in me loves when the numbers are in favor of the team instead of the player.

Compare his contract to Pillar's.

Because you care too much about saving money for John Henry.

I like to keep track of payroll numbers but I don't bitch about the front office decisions. Big difference.

Compare his contract to Pillar's.

Kevin Pillar has been worth $94.6 million. this is $13.6 million less then JBj. so if JBj is making $11 million this season then pillar should be paying John Henry $2.6 million to play for the Red Sox this season. or not.

I do. But only when they involve really big contracts or medium sized ones for oft-injured SPs...

Too busy bitching about other posters.

This doesn't make any sense.

Or when they didn't non-tender JBJ.

Should they have? Couldn't they have non tendered him and signed him for 2/12? Wouldn't that have saved them money. I'm sure if they did that there'd be a lot of people high fiving on here.

I was not so much against as I was expecting it...

[Hitch]

in my Harmony voice...

Jackie Bradley Jr's value per Fangraphs is $108.2 million.
Jackie Bradley Jr has earned $20.3 million making him UNDERPAID by $87.9 million. or not.

Nearly....the 'or not' needs to be underneath all the rest of the text. For added smugness.

Or not.

Yes, but only if no one else wanted him for more. Once they non-tender him, he is a free agent.

Now they could have offered him 2 yrs / $12mill instead of tendering him arbitration, But no way was Bradley's agent ever going to advise him to accept that...
