mqr Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Certainly not unwelcome but locking up a reliever for 7 years seems unnecessary? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I don't like committing to relievers with only one good season. Seems like a dumb move. I know it's cheap, but those years on the back end could but a dent in this window if his performance goes south. Relievers are way too damn volatile. Good for Bummer though getting paid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I wonder how much of these extensions are an effort to CBA proof themselves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I think it’s good. Relievers have become super expensive in arb. They paid him upfront to avoid paying him $19-$20 million in his arb years. Smooths the commitment out. The club options are a possibly nice to have but beside the point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s not much risk in this deal at all though. They’re essentially paying him slightly more than $3 million a year for the next 5 years. If he sucks by the end of the contract they just won’t pick up the club options. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an AAV of $3.2M is a dent on this rebuild, we suck. 4 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I don't know about this one. Relievers just aren't worth that kind of commitment anymore unless they are a lights out kind of guy with a good sized track record. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Unnecessary, unless they believe in him and saves them millions in the long run. Good for him, and if he implodes, it’s not crippling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 When we talk about locking up position players, the savings are usually happening in the club option/extension years. But with bummer it’s happening in his arb 2/3 years, that flexibility is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the same things that have been said about Bummer where said about Fry a year ago. I don’t think you would like this contract for Fry. And relievers who don’t pickup saves are not very expensive in arbitration. Edited February 22, 2020 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Bummer is one of the hardest workers on the club. Good for him! I like the Sox paying younger guys for performance. It’s the wave of the future, rather than paying old guys for past performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 There is a good chance Bummer inherits the closer role after this year, which would make deal even better. Colome did make $23M in his arb years being a good not great closer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
