David Price reportedly signs with the Red Sox

[Jaybo374]

7 years for $217 million. He can opt out after 2018 season.

As good as he is, I think the Sox paid way too much for him.

Do they get a discount on any games they play after October 1st???

Agree with you - good pitcher, not worth that money.

31 million dollars per year! I wonder what Zack is going to get? 33 million a year? Best regards, David

The Red Sox had to have a top of the rotation starter so Dombrowski went out and got the best one. I just wonder about a left hander pitching in Fenway. But it is not my money. I wish Cleveland would have went out and got him. I bet a lot of other teams wish they had him too.

I don't think that's the end of it either I bet they go out and get a second tear starter as well. time will tell.

Seems like a lot to me too, time will tell....

They needed this so Dombrowski did it. I like it. If they hadn't messed up Lester 2 years ago this would not have been needed. You can't change the past so they went out and did what they had to do now.

Thanks,

Jeff

They definitely needed an ace, it is just the Red Sox don't have a great track record in getting what's expected out of free agents. Recent history is littered with the likes of Pablo Sandoval, Hanley Ramirez, Carl Crawford, J. D. Drew, Dice - K, John Lackey. Sure the Sox have deep pockets but there is a limit. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with them getting Price it's just the cost seemed to be too much.
