Wait, are you saying Jerry is using Bob as some kind of ploy to start the negotiations, or that Jerry is slow playing Bob on how far along the talks are?

Fwiw, that’s the kind of guess you’d make right now if your account was just spouting BS with no real access and you wanted to build credibility by getting things right anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he threw Bob a bone. He can't gain any edge through the press. Giolito holds all the power. He doesn't have to sign an extension. He doesn't have to give JR a discount. The fact is JR will have to pay market rate, or really close to it to get Gio to sign. I really question whether he is willing to do that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really question whether he is willing to do that. Agreed. Gio has publicly said "I know what I'm worth" on multiple occasions and has given the impression that he intends to get it. Not that he's out there as a mercenary scraping to get every penny, just that he knows he's good and deserves a fair deal - no discounts. For that reason, I've thought he's the least likely to sign, given what you said about questioning JR's willingness to do that. Would love to be proven wrong here, though.

Yeah, they still should have been more active in the free agent market but I can’t complain too much if they use that money to lock up all the core guys long term.

There is no reason a potential Lynn extension should factor into extending Giolito. Sox should not be moving to extend Lynn or Marshall in my opinion. They have so many guys locked up. Lynn is a deal now and he's in his 30's. All the risk is on the Sox extending him. We have Gio/Keuchel moving forward. Let's see what we have in Cease/Kopech/Rodon/Crochet and evaluate if we want to extend Lynn next offseason. Marshall is so cheap and under control for 2 years. While he's been incredible, he's a crafty righty on the wrong side of thirty with a dumpy body who gets by on his craftiness and incredible sequencing. Why guarantee him more money? To potentially save a 2-3 million if he keeps pitching at this pace? I'll take my chances. Gio should be the priority. Vaughn I want to lock up before he becomes the best first baseman in the AL. Heuer, if something like Bummer's deal was agreed upon, would be great. Marshall/Lynn - let's not get cute. Our owner doesn't spend enough to take unnecessary risks on righties in their 30's with beer bellies. The upside just isn't there.

quickman Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If lynn and the Sox would be open to a two year extension I would want that . It’s good to have the depth and a veteran in the playoffs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like most don’t feel this way, but I’d love to see a 2 year extension with Lynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
