ChiSox59 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I think he ultimately signs for between 7-8 years and $240M-$260M. I would be surprised if he got to $300M at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I won't feel bad for the front office for not getting him unless they offered the most money.

Offer as much as you possibly go, if he doesnt take it you leave it on the table and walk away. He needs to know we arent playing games and he is truly the guy we want to lead us to greatness.

I understand you don’t want to bid against yourself, but there is a premium we should be willing to pay to wrap this thing up. Maybe it’s not time for that just yet, but we have to be prepared for that moment where we say “what does it take to get this shit done”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is we’ll never know for sure what other teams are bidding. Sometimes for something very strategic, you have to be willing to pay what the asset (or player) is worth to you and not worry how it would be valued on the open market. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
