Not sure how you come to that determination. $4.1M to Santana, and he provided significant negative value in his few starts. Jay has also provided nothing, but he was a little less $3M. Alonso is at least a major league baseball player, even though he's been pretty terrible so far. In total, the Sox are paying those three $16.1M. In they guanantted that to MM, maybe he takes it. With taxes, $266.1M over 8 may have been enough to avoid those Cali taxes at 10/$300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Very happy. Hope the money is not guaranteed. Paying a portion of the $4 mil isn't bad,wasting all of it, well, cash in the shredder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is definitely money in the furnace. Just the smallest pile, but still wasted money indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Maybe if they had just pitched of "Manny" & "Machado" as 2 different guys each making $17.5m/yr old moneybags Jerry would have signed off in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't considering value at all, since winning isn't really a thing that matters this year. None of the offseason signings will add anything to the team when it matters. At best they are all zero value. I was looking at just plain dollars. Honestly, I thought it was less than the 4.1, I was thinking he was like 1.5, maybe I switched the numbers in my head. Either way you are right. Waste of money. Terrible signing. Trend more than exception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I actually enjoy Jerry having his money lit on fire at this point. It's not like he's going to spend it on legit upgrades anyways so fuck it...burn it all. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I mean, rolling the dice on Santana wasn't an awful idea. We needed pitching depth. He was hurt most of last year. He pretty good in 16 and 17. Its the fact that they paid him $4.1M. If it was $1M or $1.5M, so what. I mean its not my money. But when you add it up the sum of the $4M here, $8M here, $3M here, and $9M here for a bunch of garbage, its just so head scratching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
