Probably 2 year deal. 2/12?
Well, he won't get that on the open market.
It's really hard to be impressive when you're injured.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Yes, which is why I am down on Eovaldi as a starter.
Lackey did turn it around after 2 awful years, but not many pitchers will give you that on long term free agent contracts..
I'm very ok with that...
Lackey turned it around after Tommy John surgery. He ended up yielding good value on the deal. The injury clause in his contract was triggered and he played in 2015 for minimum wage. Which was good work by Theo, although it was St. Louis who got the benefit. We did get some value from Joe Kelly.

But only 3 of the top 10 have, and only 2 were traded (Realmuto and Jorge Alfaro)...
I would avoid LeMahieu, since there is no way to tie him to an improved pitching staff. Not like anyone playing 2B for Boston is great trade bait.
I would avoid Turner, while it does create a logjam with Devers and Dalbec, I think the Sox are better off with their current corner infielders.
Brantley is an interesting thought. Excellent hitter who frees up Benintendi. My only concern is how much field he will be able to play over the next 3 seasons, since the Sox are likely to have DH filled for 2 of them.
Forget Yates, Minor, Greene. Hendriks and Schoop have promise in my eyes. The reliever market is one the Sox relly need to look in to, but the bet option is a tough call.
Springer and Ozuna figure to be among the most expensive, and the money is probably better spent on Bauer or Realmuto. Tanaka is a Yankee, so pass. Stroman is a possibility, as is Robbie Ray...
Yes, anything above replacement level would put you ahead on the deal.

His first season was not "awful." Disappointing, yes. Not great, yes. "Awful," no.
14-11 4.40 ERA+ 99 (1.419 WHIP is pretty bad.)
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
What?
It's a really, really safe bet that any reliever contributing positively would have had ample work opportunities. Even the managers you don't like manage their bullpens that way....
It was notin, not me, but more IP'd at a very nice WAR rate is a plus.

So what you're saying is that when giving Price a contract, a GM might think "Well he does not throw as many innings as other pitchers, but that means he gives better opportunities to the relief pitchers to pick up the slack. Hey, that is worth $17 mill per year!!"
Just imagine how much Price could get if he stopped pitching altogether!!!
Like $0 for 2020?
